Man with Lee County ties reportedly killed, was wanted in shooting of Taylor County deputy<\/a><\/p>\n

A man with connections to Lehigh Acres who was wanted in connection with the shooting of a\u00a0Taylor County Sheriff’s Office<\/a>\u00a0deputy Tuesday night is reported dead.<\/p>\n

Gregory Mediema, 33, has listed an Arbordale Street address in Lehigh Acres as a residence. The alert said Miedema was last seen near U.S. 19 South Deer Run Road in Perry, between Tallahassee and Gainesville.<\/p>\n

Tallahasee television station WCTV Wednesday reported that the Taylor County Sheriff\u2019s Office says a suspect was killed during a home invasion in Steinhatchee in southern Taylor County.<\/p>\n

\n
That suspect\u2019s body was found near the same car that was listed in a part Florida Blue Alert<\/a>\u00a0issued late Tuesday night.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Taylor Sheriff’s Office identified the deputy who was shot as Troy Andersen with the agency’s K-9 unit. The Sheriff’s Office said Andersen was stable at Shands Hospital in Gainesville.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Florida Blue Alert<\/a>\u00a0on Miedema was issued shortly before midnight seeking information on his whereabouts. Blue alerts are issued through the state’s Emergency Alert System to phones, television, radio and message boards across the highway when a law enforcement officer is killed, seriously injured or missing in the line of duty and there’s still an imminent threat to the public.<\/p>\n

The alert was cancelled Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

A Facebook post from the\u00a0Franklin County Sheriff’s Office<\/a>\u00a0shortly after 10 a.m. Wednesday said Miedema had been killed but included no other information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
