On the evening of Saturday, March 7, 2026, a quiet parking lot in the Whistlers Cove apartment complex in Naples, Florida, became the scene of a grim discovery. The bodies of 25-year-old Juan Ruiz-Perez and 28-year-old Raul Rojas-Catete were found, both having succumbed to gun violence.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office was called to the scene and immediately launched a death investigation, quickly determining that the two men were victims of a double homicide.
Deputies cordoned off the area as they began the task of piecing together the events that led to the two men's untimely deaths. A local news report indicated that this was not the first shooting to have occurred in the neighborhood, a fact that left some residents unsettled.
As of the initial reports, the investigation is considered active and ongoing. Authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with the killings of Juan Ruiz-Perez and Raul Rojas-Catete. The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear, and no motive has been released by law enforcement officials. The Collier County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the case.
