Salvatore Callari, 28, died on January 10, 2019
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – A Brevard Grand Jury indicted 34-year-old Nicholas Delgado on one count of First-Degree Premeditated Murder, and one count of Armed Burglary of a Dwelling in connection to the death of 28-year-old Salvatore Callari from Palm Bay.
The murder happened on January 10, 2019, at approximately 1:38 pm, when Kristen Brodie returned home to find her live-in boyfriend Callari, dead on the floor of the kitchen.
She called 911, and Palm Bay Police began a months long investigation that established Callari had been shot to death during a drug related burglary to the home.
Investigators identified 53-year-old Charles Switzer and 33-year-old Robert Williams as suspects and matched DNA from Switzer to blood found at the scene near Callari’s body.
Forensic evidence tied both men to the crime, along with a written plan for the burglary.
A third suspect Delgado was also identified, but investigators initially lacked sufficient evidence to charge him.
Both Switzer and Williams entered guilty pleas for their role in Salvatore’s murder and agreed to testify against Delgado. Each is currently serving a 22 year prison sentence.
Delgado was arrested March 12, 2024, hours after the indictment was issued and is being held on No Bond in the Brevard County Jail.
The Grand Jury heard testimony from a Palm Bay Criminal Investigator and Crime Scene Technician, along with the Brevard County Medical Examiner.
The State will have 45 days after arraignment to determine if the death penalty should apply in this case.
No trial date has been set in this case.
