This is Why Logan Lopez Stabbed His 53 Year-Old Mother To Death

According to officials, a 24-year-old man told police in Florida that he lured his mother MARY BETH Lopez into an apartment and assaulted her with a hammer before fatally stabbing her.

Logan Lopez informed investigators on Saturday that he had been planning the murder for a year, according to Clearwater police on Twitter.

Police said a lady contacted 911 at 5 p.m. and reported hearing banging noises and a woman screaming in one of the apartments in The Palms at Countryside complex at 25350 U.S. 19 N. When officers arrived, they discovered Mary Beth Lopez, 53, dead.

Logan Lopez, her son, told authorities he had plotted to murder his mother for nearly a year, Clearwater police Major Natalia Illich-Hailey said Sunday afternoon.

According to Illich-Hailey, the son enticed his mother to the flat by instructing her to bring over some of his mail that had been sent to the family’s address.

Logan Lopez invited his mother to come inside to look at his furnishings once she arrived, according to police.

According to authorities, he then struck her from behind with a hammer and stabbed her with a knife.

He told officers he was bringing her there to “put an end to her,” according to cops.

According to a video of the news conference posted by WFLA, Illich-Hailey added,

“This was a horrific scene.” “Even with law enforcement, you don’t see this very often.”

Logan Lopez informed detectives that his mother had “enslaved” him when questioned, according to Illich-Hailey.

He has never been arrested before. However, according to police, he was taken for an examination in February under the Baker Act, a state regulation that allows people to be evaluated.

Logan Lopez was arrested and taken into the Pinellas County Jail early Sunday morning. He is charged with first-degree murder.

Lopez had no criminal past, according to police, but he had previously been kept involuntarily for mental health treatment under Florida’s Baker Act.
