Felon and protégé arrested following suspected armed robbery and shooting that left victim with bullet still lodged in his back

(May 13, 2025) Today, the Collier County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) announced that a convicted felon and a teenager arrested Monday after a standoff with deputies at a Naples, Florida, apartment complex are also suspects in a recent armed robbery and a February shooting that left the victim with a bullet lodged in his back. Christian Jeremy Wolf, 22, and Howard Wesley Green III, 17, both of Naples, are charged with multiple felony offenses.

“This was terrific teamwork in action,” said Sheriff Kevin Rambosk. “These individuals committed violent crimes in our community, and thanks to a coordinated effort by multiple bureaus within our agency, they are now in custody and will be held accountable.”

Deputies located Wolf and Green at Whistler’s Green apartments off Green Boulevard, where they were seen entering a vehicle. Wolf was wanted for a February 8 shooting in Golden Gate Estates and Green on three active felony warrants.

Green was taken into custody on the warrants. Wolf fled on foot but was later apprehended following a brief standoff on the roof of an apartment building.

Inside the vehicle, deputies recovered a firearm, a trafficking amount of oxycodone (43 grams), and $1,230 cash—all linked to Wolf. Investigators also said Wolf damaged a water pipe to one of the apartment buildings, causing an estimated $10,000 to $20,000 in damage.

Wolf is charged with fleeing and eluding, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, trafficking in oxycodone, resisting arrest without violence and criminal mischief over $1,000 in connection with Monday’s events.

Following interviews with detectives, both Wolf and Green were also charged with armed burglary, armed robbery, and grand theft in connection with an armed robbery last Thursday in the Estates. Detectives say Green pulled a gun on a juvenile victim and stole jewelry and cash, while Wolf acted as the getaway driver.

Wolf also faces an aggravated battery with a firearm charge in the shooting. Detectives say he shot an 18-year-old male twice in the back as he was leaving a house party on 13th Street Northwest. The victim was flown by medical helicopter to a Fort Myers hospital, where he underwent surgery. He is currently recovering at home and remains in good condition, though doctors say he will need another surgery to remove a bullet still lodged in his back, according to detectives.
