Jury Indicts Nicholas James Delgado, 34, from Palm Bay
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – A Brevard County grand jury indicted 34-year-old Nicholas James Delgado on one count of First-Degree Felony Murder and one count of Armed Burglary to a Dwelling in the 2019 murder of 28-year-old Salvatore Callari.
On January 10, 2019, the Palm Bay Police Department received a 911 call about a dead body found in a home. Officers responded to 725 Furth Rd NE and found Salvatore Callari dead inside the residence from what appeared to be gunshot wounds.
The initial investigation revealed that Callari was killed during an armed burglary of his home. After an extensive examination of the evidence and numerous interviews, investigators developed probable cause for the arrests of 53-year-old Frederick Charles Switzer and 33-year-old Robert Williams.
Authorities say on June 28, 2022, Switzer pled guilty to Second Degree Murder and received 22.5 years in prison followed by 5 years of probation.
Shortly thereafter, on December 20, 2022, Williams pled guilty to Second Degree Murder and received 22.5 years in prison followed by 5 years of probation.
While these arrests marked a significant development in this case, detectives had identified a third suspect in addition to Switzer and Williams.
The revelation came as law enforcement officials continued to piece together the events surrounding the tragic death of Salvatore Callari.
The additional suspect, Nicholas James Delgado, was linked to the case through evidence and witness testimony.
His case was brought before the grand jury on March 12 who indicted Delgado on Felony Murder and Armed Burglary.
On the same day, Delago was taken into custody and is currently being held at the Brevard County Jail on no bond.
“With an unwavering commitment to upholding the law and serving the community, the Palm Bay Police Department vows to see each case through to its conclusion,” said Palm Bay Police Lt. Virginia Kilmer.
“We understand the impact that these cases have on victims, their families, and the community. That is why our officers and detectives work diligently to investigate each case thoroughly, following every lead in the pursuit of truth and accountability no matter how long it takes or how challenging the road may be.”
