Nicholas Novickis, 34, walked out to his mom's glass-roofed pool patio last Saturday, May 23, where his son Phoenix was swimming, "racked the shotgun" and then "shot him in the head," according to a probable cause affidavit.
"Surveillance video captured Nicholas walking out onto the lanai while holding a shotgun," the affidavit says. "Prior to Phoenix being shot, the video shows Nicholas walk inside from the lanai and Allie [his girlfriend] follows him. Allie then reappeared back on the lanai before going back inside, whereby Nicholas reappeared on the camera carrying the shotgun."
The affidavit says "at no time prior to the shooting did there appear to be an argument or any type of disturbance." Novickis was later heard by police making a "spontaneous utterance" during an interview where he "stated his regret" and said it was "f—ed up" that he killed his girlfriend, son and dog.
