A Chicago man may face 70 years in a plea deal for two different murders committed within a week.

Robert R. Simms III, 35, is facing murder, robbery and arson charges in the Sept. 23, 2021 death of Lyft driver Glynon “Coach” Nelson, 38, of Crown Point.Simms was also charged in the Sept. 29, 2021 death of Nicholas Kowalski, 29, of Park Forest, Illinois. Court records allege he killed Kowalski while trying to rob him.

Court records show Nelson was cooperative during his robbery, but Simms “killed him anyway,” according to a criminal affidavit. In Kowalski’s case, about a week before, he drove over to Simms’ place, police wrote. Days later, Kowalski, Simms and Isaih Lenburg drove away in Kowalski’s blue van, the affidavit states. Sometime later, Simms returned, dropping Lenburg off, it said.

Kowalski’s van was taken to Lowell, then set on fire, the affidavit states. Indiana State Police later found it in a cornfield.
