Tallahassee, FL – The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional
Fugitive Task Force (FRFTF) today announced the arrest of 21 year old Nima Nash
Moradi of Orlando, Florida at an apartment complex located at 2421 Jackson Bluff
Rd in Tallahassee, FL. Moradi was currently being sought by the Orange County
Sheriff’s Office, Orlando, FL on charges of 2nd Degree Homicide. According to
Orange County Detectives, Moradi was involved in a physical altercation at his
home on 02/09/2012 in Orlando, FL with 25 year old Richard Luyo. According to
information provided by investigators Moradi stabbed Luyo multiple times in
front of Luyo’s 6 year old child. Luyo then fled the scene with his child and
crashed his car into a lamppost a short distance from the scene. On 02/13/2012
Orange County Detectives upgraded the Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon
charge to 2nd Degree Homicide after Luyo died from wounds received during the
assault. FRFTF Task Force members received information late last night
indicating that Moradi had fled the Orlando, FL area and travelled to
Tallahassee, FL to hide out with friends. Early this morning FRFTF Task Force
members working with Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Special Agents
located Moradi asleep on a couch in an apartment located at 2421 Jackson Bluff
Rd. Moradi was roused from his sleep by a heavily armed eight man entry team and
was arrested without incident. Moradi was booked into the Leon County Jail by
task force officers where he will remain awaiting extradition back to Orlando,
FL to face his murder charge. Additional information about the U.S. Marshals Service can be found at http://www.usmarshals.gov. ####
