Today our detectives made a significant arrest that took a

00:00:04.259 --> 00:00:07.290
very dangerous subject off of our streets.

00:00:07.290 --> 00:00:09.710
Julian Mendez Wolf, 28, of Naples,

00:00:09.710 --> 00:00:13.564
was arrested today on charges that include two counts of

00:00:13.632 --> 00:00:17.555
attempted murder and one count of shooting a missile into

00:00:17.624 --> 00:00:19.000
an occupied vehicle.

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.876
Evidence shows that a firearm was used to commit these

00:00:22.948 --> 00:00:23.450
crimes.

00:00:23.450 --> 00:00:27.848
Mendez Wolf was accused of these violent crimes that resulted

00:00:27.921 --> 00:00:31.670
in the serious injury of 2 Collier County residents.

00:00:31.670 --> 00:00:33.580

00:00:33.580 --> 00:00:37.355
June 1st, Mendez Wolf was involved in a shooting incident

00:00:37.421 --> 00:00:40.070
on Immokalee Road near Twin Eagles Blvd.

00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:43.855
In Collier County. 2 victims were believed to be specifically

00:00:43.917 --> 00:00:47.330

00:00:50.997 --> 00:00:51.530
crashed.

00:00:51.530 --> 00:00:54.943
This outrageous act of violence committed on one of our

00:00:55.005 --> 00:00:58.790
main roadways in Collier County was senseless and deliberate.

00:00:58.790 --> 00:01:01.980

00:01:07.234 --> 00:01:08.170
the shooting.

00:01:08.170 --> 00:01:12.307
In one of the most extensive investigations in our recent

00:01:12.379 --> 00:01:12.960
history,

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:15.130
your Collier County Sheriff's Office,

00:01:15.130 --> 00:01:20.164
deputies, detectives, crime scene research analysts and many more spent

00:01:20.234 --> 00:01:24.630
countless hours working tirelessly day and night on this case.

00:01:24.630 --> 00:01:26.260
Many gave up their nights,

00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:31.506
weekends and Father's Day. And the investigation continues with just

00:01:31.583 --> 00:01:36.366
as much diligence and commitment to bring all those criminally

00:01:36.443 --> 00:01:39.220
responsible in this case to justice.

00:01:39.220 --> 00:01:43.775
Hundreds of hours of old-fashioned police work integrated with modern

00:01:43.841 --> 00:01:47.010
technology resources to leave no stone unturned.

00:01:47.010 --> 00:01:51.130
And while technology is certainly a valuable investigative tool,

00:01:51.130 --> 00:01:56.010
it's the skill, talent and commitment of the professional and

00:01:56.090 --> 00:02:00.810
dedicated men and women investigating this case that led to

00:02:00.890 --> 00:02:01.850
this arrest.

00:02:01.850 --> 00:02:05.190
They had to sort through a variety of evidence,

00:02:05.190 --> 00:02:09.659
information and leads. It's their diligence and tenacity that took

00:02:09.727 --> 00:02:13.452
this criminal off of our streets and they will continue

00:02:13.519 --> 00:02:16.770
their persistence throughout this investigation.
