The case of a St Joe man accused of shooting his ex-wife and killing her boyfriend will be certified for Circuit Court after he waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday.

Daron Simpson, 34, is charged with 2nd Degree Murder and 1st Degree Assault for the shooting incident January 24th that left Amanda Simpson seriously hurt and Andrew Clary dead.

Investigators say in court documents Simpson crashed his vehicle through the garage door of the couple’s home north of Faucett, then entered the home and shot the couple in their bedroom.

In an electronic filing Wednesday, Mr Simpson waived his right to a preliminary hearing. He remains in custody without bond pending his Circuit Court arraignment.
