Logan David Slack, 25, and Fotini Anest West, 25, both of Minneapolis, are each charged with 2nd-degree intentional murder and 2nd-degree unintentional murder while committing a felony. According to a criminal complaint, Inver Grove Heights officers were dispatched to a residence on the 2100 block of 78th Ct. E. for a 911 hang-up just after 2 a.m. Sept. 24.
UPDATE: Slack and West were sentenced in May 2023 to more than 30 years in prison
A male voice was heard by the dispatcher yelling “help me” and “they are trying to get into my house,” with silence shortly after. The victim has since been identified as Michael Chang-Beom Lee, 43.
Police found a shattered back door at the home, made entry and saw bloody footprints on the carpet, the complaint said. After searching more of the home, police found Lee in a basement bathroom, “obviously deceased” and surrounded by blood on the floor. Officers at the scene also noted a large hole in the bathroom door. An autopsy would later find that Lee’s cause of death was a single gunshot wound.
