DNA leads to charges against man in Lee jail

Tracking DNA from blood found at the scene of a burglary last year led Fort Myers police department officers to a suspect.

The man was found in jail.

The robbery happened July 3, 2005, at the Valero gas station at 2449 S.R. 82 in Fort Myers. Detectives collected blood from broken glass at the scene and sent it to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for analysis.

On Nov. 9, the FDLE notified the police department that there was a match.

Charged with burglary Monday is Guillermo Duran, 35, a transient. Duran was located in the Lee County jail. He is in jail charged with another burglary, that of a Hess station at 4887 Palm Beach Blvd., Fort Myers.
