Fort Myers police responded after Lumaine's wife called to say her husband was killing their roommate.
According to reports, Lumaine became angry on June 8 and remained angry through June 9 before saying he was going to leave the residence because it was too hot.
The woman says she was fine with him leaving, and she went to sleep before being woken up by the victim screaming, "Help! He is killing me!" multiple times.
Police say the woman was able to gather her children and take them to neighbors, where she was able to make the call.
Police responded to the residence, where they found the front door wide open with a trail of blood coming from the entrance of the home.
Officers say they found Willy Lumaine, 33, in the back of the house, approaching the window with a large knife in hand and what appeared to be a human torso.
Lumaine reportedly began smashing the back window out with the knife before climbing out and approaching officers.
Police say they used tasers to attempt to bring Lumaine down, but they were not effective. Officers say they then fired shots at Lumaine, striking him.
Medical aid was used on Lumaine, but EMS said he died on the scene.
Officers searched through the residence and located the remainder of the body spread throughout the house. According to reports, the head was located near a trash can outside.

A man was shot and killed by police after he allegedly murdered and dismembered his roommate in Fort Myers on Sunday.
The landlord of the home said the two were arguing about their living situation. Lumaine wanted Benito out, but Benito was renting the home first.
NBC2 met with the landlord on Wednesday. We saw the smashed window, and the victim's blood reeked and covered the floor.
"This is the first time I go in for myself. It is very hard to see the blood everywhere, and the man was blind. He couldn't even see to defend himself," said Jean Willy, the landlord.
