The Cape Coral Police Chief says a car of one or more suspects used headlights to blind Rincon-Miller and two other girls in an attempt to rob them, and Rincon-Miller was shot and killed.
"It's certainly unnerving for the general public that this happened on a Sunday night," Chief Anthony Sizemore told Cape Coral's Community Correspondent Colton Chavez and other reporters during a briefing Monday morning.
Chief Sizemore did not believe that a city-wide alert was needed, just asking people to be vigilant as they normally would. He did say the Sunday night was atypical because school was out for Spring Break.
"As far as a random group of people driving around robbing people, I don't believe that that is going to end up being the case, but right now we don't have any information we can release that's going to contradict that."
Chief Anthony Sizemore, Cape Coral Police Department
Chief Sizemore said Kayla Rincon-Miller and two of her friends had just seen a movie at Marquee Cinemas Coralwood and were walking to get something to eat from a McDonald's at about 10:00pm, when they were confronted on SE 20th Street.

"One of the girls told detectives a car pulled up and blinded them with their lights, and then suspects jumped out of the car and attempted to rob them. One of the individuals began to shoot and Ms. Rincon-Miller was struck in the chest. All 3 girls stated they did not know the shooter was." Sizemore said.
Rincon-Miller was conscious and able to speak when officers first arrived, Sizemore said.
"Our officers responded within minutes and began live-saving efforts on the gunshot victim, even applying a chest pack that's commonly used in combat,"
Chief Sizemore said Rincon-Miller was hospitalized but did not survive her injuries.
"We are actively seeking any information on the shooting — Ring camera, commercial surveillance from surrounding businesses, or any bystanders or witnesses who may have been present and fled at the time," said Chief Sizemore.
Chief Sizemore said they did not yet have any specific information to share about the suspect or suspects involved, except that they were young.
He encouraged people with information to call the Cape Coral Police Department directly at 239-574-3223 or CrimeStoppers 1-800-780-TIPS.
