Leo Dartoe Gets Life for Murder | Fargo News

Leo Dartoe just got a life sentence with no parole for the brutal, premeditated murder of Sampson Bleh — a crime fueled by revenge over a false rumor and sealed by Dartoe’s illegal gun possession. The judge upheld the harshest penalty, citing Dartoe’s violent history, a prior confrontation, and his refusal to change despite probation attempts. Prosecutors revealed the shooting erupted after Bleh confronted Dartoe, and the girlfriend testified the rumor was untrue — but Dartoe opened fire once inside. First responders witnessed the horror, and the court emphasized prison isn’t just punishment here — it’s community protection. Dartoe gets credit for 620 days already served, a stark reminder that violence and firearms have deadly consequences. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
