At the time of his death, Simon was wanted by the police for questioning in connection with the murder of Ryan Sooklall at Providence, East Bank Demerara. Sooklall, 19, was shot in front of a shop in Providence on March 1, 2015.

The ruling at the end of the preliminary inquiry into Simon’s murder was handed down by Magistrate Renita Singh, who stated that there was overwhelming evidence against Amsterdam. The shooting allegedly occurred as a result of a dispute between the two over a “drug’s block.”

It is claimed that Amsterdam, 32, of Lot 34 Norton Street, Bagots-town, murdered Simon on November 10, 2015, in Bagotstown.
