The two officers, Amy E. Young, 40, and Luis Monroig, 37, were shot this morning in what the Lee County Sheriff's Office is calling a domestic dispute.

Monroig later died from his injuries and Young is in critical but stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit at Lee Memorial Hospital.

Naples Police Department records show that Sgt. Amy Young has had a sometimes troubled history with the agency.

She along with several other officers beginning in 2011 were caught up in an allegations of alleged sexual misconduct while on duty.

The allegations following in an internal investigation were determined to be unfounded. Also determined to be unfounded were allegations of unauthorized use of a city vehicle, living with an immediate subordinate and threatening an individual with a firearm, according to police records. However she did receive a written reprimand for the accidental discharge of her firearm and received remedial training.

In February 2003 she was suspended for five days without pay for sleeping on duty. Young is currently the day shift patrol supervising sergeant.

Young was not Monroig's supervisor and both worked in different areas, Lt. John Barkley, a public information officer for the Naples police, said.

The Lee County Property Appraiser shows that the home at 21790 Sunset Lake Court was owned by Young. Information on Monroig also showed an address in Naples as well as the Lakes at Estero home.

Luis Monroig, 37, is a 10-year veteran was a master officer with the Naples Police Dept., was a member of the SWAT Team and the Honor Guard. He was the subject of no internal investigations.

Dwight Philip, who lives two doors down from the scene on Sunset Lake Court, said he often saw the couple out.

"We saw them painting their house about five months ago, it took them forever because they did it themselves," he said. "They were always doing something around their yard."

Philip said the couple often walked their dog and would wave back when he waved to them.

Other than that, he said, there was no indication of trouble. "We never saw anything," Philip said. "But we really didn't know them."

He noted a couple who lived in the house before them was well-known to have had domestic trouble. "You could see them yelling at each other in the driveway," he said of the previous owners.

An LCSO spokesman said the shooting was called in at 12:56 a.m. Wednesday. The spokesman said Young and Monroig are officers with the Naples Police Department.

"This is a tragic day for all law enforcement," said Lt. Jeff Dektas, with the Lee County Sheriff's Office, at a news conference at the scene across from Estero High School.

A spokesman at the scene said the community was in no danger and the shooting was the result of a domestic dispute.

From earlier today

The Lee County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting at an Estero neighborhood.

A man and a woman were taken to the hospital following a shooting at the Lakes of Estero on River Ranch Road, across from Estero High School.

A neighbor said a young couple lives in the home deputies have taped off.

The shooting was reported around 1 a.m. in the 2100 block of Sunset Lake Court, according to news partner WINK News.

The home is owned by Amy E. Young, according to the Lee County Property Appraiser web site.

Deputies deployed a drone to check the area surrounding the shooting scene. About two months ago, the Lee County Sheriff's Office acquired drones for special operations and crime scene work.

A resident at the Colonial Oaks development adjacent to the shooting scene said he doesn't know the couple who lives there but has seen them out.

Kevin Reilly, whose home has a clear view of the scene, said he has seen the couple walking a dog in the past months.

"They seemed like a nice couple," he said. "They moved in about a year ago and then about five months ago they seemed to disappear."

Reilly said he wasn't sure if maybe the couple was wealthy and had another home somewhere.

He added that the couple who lived at that home before had police respond to a domestic altercation.

"This is a little close to home," he said.

Deputies and detectives from the Lee County Sheriffs Office remain at the scene. They say the shooting is an isolated incident and neighbors are not in danger.
