Scores Suspect Gives Cops The Slip

By Newsradio 88 Staff

The brother of the man, who is charged in the murder of a waiter and bouncer at Scores nightclub, is already under arrest, but now it seems the prime suspect in that case has given New York City cops the slip.

Simon Dedaj was feeling the heat, as police closed in on the alleged trigger man in the murder that took place at the upscale Manhattan nudie bar last year.

Detectives were apparently following Dedaj's car on the Bronx River Drive Tuesday night when the suspect spotted them, the Daily News reports.

Dedaj pulled off the road, then sped off into Bronxville, where cops lost him around Lawrence Hospital, according to the paper.
