Officer Andrew Allen Widman, 30, was killed on July 18, 2008, in Fort Myers, Florida, while responding to a domestic dispute outside a restaurant on Hendry Street at about 2:00 a.m.
Widman had served with the Fort Myers Police Department for just over a year and is described as a dedicated officer, husband and father. The shooter was identified as Abel Arango, a convicted felon with a history of violence. The case prompted a law change to keep felons who violate probation off the streets until a parole officer can review their cases.
Anyone who knew Officer Widman or who has information about the incident is asked to come forward.
