On January 26, 2025, detectives from the Bureau of Fire, Arson, and Explosives Investigations responded to a structure fire at Christ at the Crossroads Church, at 1430 Homestead Road N., Lehigh Acres.
Surveillance footage captured an unidentified individual wearing dark clothing near the property at the time of the fire.
Investigators would like to speak to anyone with information on this fire or the identity of the pictured individual.
