A 29-year-old man from Wisconsin is facing charges for allegedly murdering a woman in a motel room, reportedly shooting her in the head. He claims the victim requested him to target a specific spot where she had his name tattooed on her forehead.

Lance Devon White has been arrested and charged with first-degree intentional homicide in connection with the death of 29-year-old Alicia Machnik, according to court records.

As detailed in a probable cause affidavit acquired by Law&Crime, officers from the Milwaukee Police Department arrived at the Port Motel on Appleton Avenue around 2:38 p.m. on January 14, responding to a “dead on entry” call. Emergency responders were first to reach the scene, where they discovered Machnik lying on the bed, already deceased.

Detectives noted what seemed to be a single gunshot wound on her upper right forehead, with the bullet exiting through the back of her head.

Within the motel room, authorities found several of White’s personal items, including his state ID card, birth certificate, debit card, and social security card.

A motel employee told police he had been to the room at around 11:30 a.m. and spoke with Machnik, who said she would be staying an additional night. The same employee returned to the room at around 2:38 p.m. and knocked, but received no response. He let himself in using the master key and found Machnik dead and bleeding from the head, the document states.

Surveillance footage showed White leaving the motel room at 11:28 a.m., three hours before Machnik’s body was found. No one else entered or left the room after White’s exit, according to surveillance footage.

Machnik’s mother told police that her daughter and White had been married a year earlier and that Machnik had “spiraled out of control ever since.”

A man who identified himself as Machnik’s on-and-off boyfriend for the last five years told police he often sent Machnik money because she regularly stayed in motels. The man also had access to Machnik’s Uber account, and told police that someone used Machnik’s account to travel from the motel where Machnik’s body was found to another motel on Applebaum Avenue. The app showed that the passenger got into the rideshare car about an hour after Machnik was killed.

An employee at the second motel told police that an individual matching White’s description had asked for a room about 4 p.m. that day, but was turned away because he could not provide identification.

Police were able to track White to nearby St. Luke’s Hospital, where he was taken into custody without incident.

In a post-Miranda interview, White confirmed that he had been dating Machnik for about a year and would typically stay in motels. He said their relationship had recently reached the point where they just enjoy “getting high together.” He also allegedly admitted to shooting Machnik.

“The defendant stated Machnik told him that her child’s father was getting out of prison in eleven months and was going to kill them,” the affidavit states. “The defendant stated Machnik told him to shoot her at the spot his name is tattooed on her face. The defendant stated that he shot her in the head once, and then fled the room in shock. The defendant stated that after he left the room, he discarded the gun in a sewer near some apartment buildings.”

White is scheduled to make his first appearance in court on Wednesday, records show.
