Investigators talked with a man and woman seen speaking with Walker in Waffle House surveillance video before the shooting and said both were cooperating. Scott Simon, 24, is heard talking with another person on a recorded 911 line May 5, saying he's going to follow Nicholas Romondo Walker, 33, of Lauderhill, home and kill him, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office news release Wednesday. Minutes later, 33-year-old Nicholas Walker was shot and killed while driving his car onto Interstate 95 in Oakland Park. BSO spokeswoman Dani Moschella said Walker died at the scene from gunshot wounds. Broward sheriff's homicide detectives on Tuesday arrested Simon on a charge of first-degree murder in the killing of Walker, 33, the Broward Sheriff's Office said. BSO investigators say they don't think Simon pulled the trigger in the shooting, but believe he orchestrated the attack. When deputies arrived at the shooting scene shortly after 6:40 a.m. May 5, they found Walker’s silver Buick crashed into a guard rail. When deputies and Oakland Park Fire rescue came to the on-ramp about 10 minutes later, they found flames shooting out of the car's engine compartment.
– You know that person at the top of your contact list, the one most likely to get an unintended call from your butt? Well, if you're the murderous type, make sure that number isn't 911. This lesson comes too late for Scott Simon, who unintentionally dialed 911 while still frothing with rage over a late-night dispute at a Waffle House in Florida. In the recording, Simon is heard saying that he intends to follow the man he was arguing with to his house and shoot him, the Miami Herald and South Florida Sun Sentinel report. That man, Nicholas Walker, was indeed shot and killed mere minutes later, while he was pulling his car onto I-95. Simon was arrested Tuesday over the May 5 incident, and while police don't think he actually killed Walker, he's been charged with first-degree murder because they believe he orchestrated the hit. "This is a first for me," a police spokesman said. "Criminals say crazy things all the time, but I've never seen anyone call a recorded line."
