A Florida landscaper pleaded guilty to a murder-for-hire plot to kill three people, including his ex-girlfriend, and set the crime scene up to appear as if someone from the Black Lives Matter movement was behind it.
Daniel Slater, 51, admitted to hiring what he believed to be a hitman to kill his 22-year-old ex-girlfriend and her sister and brother-in-law who he thought was responsible for ruining their relationship, the Palm Beach Post reported.
From May to June 2020, Slater met with 'hitman' who was actually an FBI informant, according to the Department of Justice.
Slater and the undercover agent discussed the logistics behind the hit, including bringing in a third person to assist.
Slater even went so far as to drive by the victim's home with the agent, instructing them on how to carry out the murders when the time came.
In one instance, Slater pointed out which of the home's windows to shoot through to kill the couple and he instructed the supposed hitman to spray-paint the house
