Overview
- The surveillance video, recorded April 2 at a Fort Myers gas station, shows a man striking a store clerk with a hammer in what police called a targeted attack after a prior encounter.
- Police arrested 40-year-old Rolbert Joachin later that day after a coordinated manhunt and charged him with murder, criminal mischief, and damage to property over $1,000.
- Joachin is being held without bond and is set for arraignment on May 4, according to Lee County court records.
- DHS said ICE helped track and arrest Joachin, and an ICE official said he entered by boat in 2022, had a prior removal order, and held Temporary Protected Status until the administration revoked it this week.
- Trump posted the graphic video Thursday on Truth Social and attacked TPS for Haitians, a program now tied up in court after a judge blocked the administration’s bid to end it and the government asked the Supreme Court to intervene.
