Photography Store-Homicides



A Dakota man accused of killing a La Crosse photography store owner and his son is set to stand trial in May.
 
Investigators say Jeffrey Lepsch killed Paul Petras and Petras' son, A.J., at May's Photo in downtown La Crosse last September. They say they recovered multiple items from the store at Lepsch's house during an October search.
 
Lepsch faces two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, one count of armed robbery and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He has denied involvement in the deaths.
 
La Crosse County Circuit Judge Ramona Gonzalez has scheduled jury selection for May 3rd. The trial is scheduled to begin on May 6th.
Paul Petras also operated a May's Photo store in Winona for many years.
