Deka Simmons carried an obsessive hatred of child molesters.
That was bad news for convicted sex offender Daxcimo Ceja — even though his crime was allegedly having sex with a 17-year-old girl when he was 25.
A Colorado court heard those facts didn’t matter to Simmons as she was convicted of first-degree murder.
Last week, the 40-year-old was sentenced to life in prison without parole for shooting Ceja. The registered sex offender’s remains were dumped into a drainage ditch in bags.
In addition to the grisly murder, Simmons received an additional 24 years for tampering with the body and another three years for tampering with physical evidence.At the time he was killed, Ceja had a warrant out for his arrest for failing to register as a sex offender.
“(Simmons) has an unrestrained hatred for anyone who would molest a child,” Flaherty said, calling it a “fixation” and “paranoia.”
According to cops, a witness watched as Simmons shot Ceja in a garage in April 2022. She then dismembered his body and stored the remains in her freezer before using her van to dump her sickening cargo.
Homicide detectives linked Simmons to the slaying through DNA collected from blood at the crime scene.
Ceja’s remains were not recovered until October 2023 when a tipster reported finding human remains stashed in a bag.
Simmons is no stranger to courthouses and jail cells. The Colorado Springs Gazette reported that she has an extensive criminal history, including a conviction for being an accessory to the murder of a fellow inmate.
