Florida Man Pleads Guilty to Hiring Woman to Kill Couple, Frame BLM Activists

A Florida man who pled guilty for orchestrating a hit to kill his ex-girlfriend and her husband in their home now faces 10 years in prison. On July 9, Daniel Slater, 51, of Palm Beach County, Florida admitted in court that he had meetings with an unnamed individual to discuss plans to carry out the murders.

Slater and his associate drove by the couple's home, detailing how each murder would be carried out, scoping specific windows to shoot and areas to keep note of. He stated that he wanted the accomplice to spray "Black Lives Matter" on the home to make it seem as if the activist group was behind the murders.

In exchange for the murders, Slater offered drugs and money to pay off previous debts that the hitwoman owed. Slater also reached out to another individual to help with the murders. None of the killings happened.

The hitwoman was identified as Brianne Slabaugh in a March report from the Sun-Sentinel, while the other individual was Slabaugh's boyfriend. Slabaugh was found dead in the Florida Everglades on February 22, 2020, of what a medical examiner ruled was an overdose of heroin and cocaine.
