Bienaime, 5209 Gilchrist St. East Naples, was arrested on a Collier County warrant charging him with the June 23 murder of Elmer Serrano-Lopez, 20, and the attempted murders of Roland Marks, 45, and Felix Ventura-Cruz, 19, on Fleming Street in Naples Manor.
Collier County Sheriff's Office detectives have been working with Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents in Fort Myers and Miami, and the U.S. Marshal’s Service Florida Regional Fugitive Task Forces in Fort Myers and Miami to locate Bienaime. Their work paid off Wednesday afternoon with Bienaime’s capture.
Biename was arrested and transported to Collier County, where he was booked into the Naples Jail Center.
Detectives gave this account of the shooting:
Serrano-Lopez, Ventura-Cruz and Marks were selling firearms to Bienaime who became involved in a verbal altercation with Serrano. Bienaime shot Serrano, killing him, then turned and fired at Marks and Ventura-Cruz. Marks remains hospitalized in stable condition. Ventura-Cruz received only superficial injuries.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office appreciates the assistance and professionalism of FDLE and the U.S. Marshal’s Service. Both agencies were instrumental in helping bring about Bienaime’s swift apprehension.
The investigation into this case is still active. Detectives believe that at least two additional people were present with Bienaime at the time of the shooting.
