Vigil held for Immokalee man killed by Collier County deputy

The State Attorney s Office completed a legal review and chose not to file charges against Cpl. Pierre Jean, the deputy who killed Morales Besanilla, deeming the use of deadly force legal and justified. Jean fired four gunshots at Morales Besanilla while another deputy released a K9.

Jesus Andrade said Morales Besanilla, his stepfather, took great care of his mom, Olga Olvera Andrade, before she died in 2015. Andrade said his mom had diabetes and used a wheelchair, and his stepfather would cook and clean for them. ....
