MINNEAPOLIS — An Iowa woman accused of fatally stabbing her ex-partner
in Minneapolis, then crashing the victim's car with her body inside in
southern Minnesota, has been deemed competent to stand trial.

Margot G. Lewis, 32, was charged this summer with two counts of
second-degree murder and a count of interference with a dead body in the
death of 35-year-old Liara Tsai.

Tsai's body was found inside her vehicle, which Lewis crashed on June 22
on Interstate 90 in Eyota, just southeast of Rochester.

A Hennepin County judge ruled on Wednesday that Lewis' trial can
proceed. Her next court date is scheduled for Oct. 21.

Details from Lewis' criminal complaint
Deputies responded to Lewis' crash to find her sitting "on a lawn chair
in the median of the interstate."

According to the criminal complaint, a Minnesota State Patrol crash
reconstruction determined Lewis, of North Liberty, Iowa, was traveling
more than 100 mph on I-90 before the crash.

Witnesses at the scene told deputies there was a dead body in the back
seat of the crashed car, "wrapped in bedding, a mattress, and covered
with a tarp" with Tsai's head visible, the complaint states.

Tsai's dog was also found wandering around at the scene. The animal had
a microchip which eventually led investigators to Tsai's Minneapolis
residence, according to the complaint, where police "encountered a
bloody scene."

The medical examiner's office later determined Tsai's cause of death was
from a "gaping puncture wound" to her neck, and not from the crash.

The complaint states Lewis was taken to a hospital after the crash,
where she refused to speak to investigators due to taking "a vow of
silence," but agreed to "communicate in sign language." Investigators
say Lewis then attacked officers when they attempted to get her
fingernail clippings for evidence.

Remembering Liara Tsai
Tsai's friends told WCCO in June she had just moved to Minneapolis from
Iowa.

"She was just always completely herself, and she wanted to inspire
everyone around her to always be their most true and authentic selves,"
said friend Olivia Anderson.

Tsai was a crisis counselor and DJ who was just days away from playing
the biggest event of her career in New York City.

"She was so connected with her humanity, and her divinity, and her
love," said friend Levi Lake. "I really grieve that she won't be here to
experience that."

The maximum sentence for a second-degree murder conviction is 40 years.
