Wisconsin jury finds him guilty on all charges of concealing bodies in 2021 quadruple murder

A man from St. Paul accused of helping hide the bodies of four people in a western Wisconsin cornfield in 2021 has been found guilty of all charges filed against him in Dunn County.

Court records show a jury found Darren Lee Osborne, 59, guilty of four counts of concealing a corpse as part of a murder. A sentencing for the case has been set for the morning of December 13.

He was charged, as was his son, Antoine Darnique Suggs, in the deaths of Nitosha Lee Flug-Presley, 30, of Stillwater; Matei Isiah Pettus, 26, of St. Paul; Loyace Foreman III, 35, of St. Paul; and Jasmine Christine Sturm, 30, of St. Paul. Prosecutors say Suggs shot and killed the victims in St. Paul on the morning of September 12, 2021, and their bodies were later found in an abandoned black Mercedes-Benz in the town of Sheridan.

Cell phone data from that night led investigators to believe he killed the victims near White Squirrel between 3:30 a.m. and 3:48 a.m. All had suffered gunshot wounds to the head.

From there, Suggs met up with his father, Darren Osborne, 56, who traveled to Wisconsin with Suggs in a separate vehicle. A farmer discovered the SUV with the victims inside on his property later that afternoon.

Osborne told police that he didn’t know there were bodies in the SUV Suggs was driving until he heard about the incident on the news, but that Suggs then told him he “snapped” and shot the victims on West Seventh.

As previously reported by 5 EYEWITNESS NEWSOsborne was sentenced in December 2022 to five years in prison on charges filed in Ramsey County for the same crime. He pleaded guilty to one count of aiding a felon by being an accomplice as part of a plea deal, in which the state agreed to a halfway house sentence, and dismissed another count, in which he was charged with assault of the third degree. in May 2021.
