Sentenced: 4 St. Paul Friends Murdered & Randomly' Dumped In A Cornfield

[Sugar Cookie]

Investigators are probing whether drugs were involved in the murder of four friends from St. Paul whose bodies were found inside an SUV that was dumped in a cornfield about an hour away in Wisconsin.

Dunn County Sheriff Kevin Bygd said investigators believe the victims 'were randomly brought to' the Town of Sheridan and that someone intentionally drove the SUV with the bodies into the tall corn.

The victims were identified as Nitosha Lee Flug-Presley, 30, Matthew Isiah Pettus, 26; Loyace Foreman III, 35, and Jasmine Christine Sturm, 30, all four from Saint Paul, Minnesota.

A farmer discovered the bodies on Sunday afternoon in the field about 65 miles east of St. Paul. All four had been shot dead.

Bygd said that motive in the case remains a mystery, and that all possibilities are under investigation, including the involvement of personal acquaintances, organized crime, or a drug connection.

He said as yet there was no preliminary evidence of drugs as a motive, but that 'it very well could be, and that's going to be discovered through our investigation.'

The victims, who included two bartenders at the Irish bar Shamrocks, had last been seen out drinking together in St. Paul on Saturday night, before leaving together in an unknown vehicle.

Bygd said that there was no connection between the victims and the area where their bodies were found, and that investigators suspect the killers did not a have a local connection either.

'We can't find any connection to this area, other than possibly randomly driving out of the Twin Cities,' the sheriff said.

Investigators believe the killer or killers brought a second vehicle to the dump site, and used it to escape. Police are seeking information about a possible second dark-colored SUV that may have been involved.

Investigators remain tight-lipped about many aspects of the case, and Bygd refused to answer many key questions, including ownership information for the SUV the bodies were found in, and the position of the bodies in the vehicle.

However, audio from a police scanner obtained by the station KSTP revealed that none of the victims were in the driver's seat.

Autopsies that were performed on Monday by Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office determined that all four victims died from gunshot wounds.

You have to be very careful about what you acknowledge you see and hear when working in a bar.. my answer was always 'no way - do don't say' even if the same person was repeating the same tibit.. I didn't acknowledge names.. rumors.. and I sure the hell knew better than to ask questions.. I loved bartending but you do have to keep your whits about you to be successful if you plan to do it for a good amount of time..

Dunn County Sheriff Kevin Bygd says Darren McWright — who also goes by the last name "Osborne"— was arrested by St. Paul Police. He’s now being held in Ramsey County Jail, awaiting extradition and facing four charges of hiding a corpse in Wisconsin. Bygd says more charges are expected as the investigation continues.

Authorities are continuing to look for a second suspect — Antoine Suggs — who is believed to be in the Twin Cities. Police say he should be considered armed and dangerous.

But so far, the sheriff says there’s no clear motive in the case.

"That's still kind of a mystery,” Bygd said. “And I'm hoping for the families' sake that we can figure that out eventually."

A criminal complaint filed against McWright says witnesses from the bar told police they saw Suggs that evening with Flug-Presley. The complaint also states that Suggs would, from time-to-time, fly in from Arizona to Minnesota to see her.

I've never seen that one before. Any idea how it's pronounced? Loy-ace? Low-yus? Loice? Lois? Other?

Two of the victims were a brother and sister, officials said. The other two deceased individuals are believed to have been in a romantic relationship.

"My understanding is they all kind of grew up in the same neighborhood and knew each other, families knew each other," Bygd said.

After he shot four people inside an SUV, authorities say Antoine Darnique Suggs drove around St. Paul for hours, stopped to talk with his mother, got gas and a drink, and asked his father to follow him to Wisconsin where he dumped the vehicle in a cornfield.

He was in and out of the car containing the bodies for about seven hours, according to a timeline police put together using video footage, cellphone data and witness reports that is laid out in criminal charges.

So much blood had pooled in the SUV that police found puddles of it at different places where he had parked.“Suggs told his father that he snapped and shot a couple of people,” is all the criminal complaint offers as a motive for the quadruple homicide.

So, has his father been arrested, too? Because it sounds like he either knew before he followed Antoine or he didn't turn him in after Antoine told him what he had done.
