Good morning, Fort Myers.

The Animal Refuge Center will hold its 13th annual Casino Royale 007 fundraiser on Saturday, June 21, from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa in Estero where guests in James Bond-themed attire can enjoy games, auctions, and a cash bar — ticket sales are strong and sponsors are invited until the event — with every dollar raised supporting animal care.

Investigators returned to Harbor Grand Condos and the WINK News parking lot to gather evidence in the fatal shooting of Alex Johnson while divers searched Billy Creek for the murder weapon and accused shooter Yanko Romero faces charges as residents now fear for security.

Country singer Luke Bryan will perform Saturday, June 14, at 6:30 p.m. at JetBlue Park, marking Fenway South's debut as Southwest Florida's largest concert venue with a capacity of about 17,000—more major shows are planned through spring and autumn.

Heavy rains in early June nearly halved the rainfall deficit in Fort Myers, but extreme drought continues in Southwest Florida—especially in the Everglades.

Local officials in Glades, Collier, and LaBelle still enforce burn bans as the region awaits more sustained rain to help recharge its aquifers.
