A jury convicted the man guilty of assisting his son in concealing the bodies of four people in a cornfield in western Wisconsin on Wednesday.
Darren L. Osborne was charged with four counts of concealing a corpse as a party to a crime. His son, Antoine Suggs, was found guilty of fatally shooting a group of pals in St. Paul.
According to the Ramsey County complaint, on the morning of September 12, 2021, Suggs told Osborne that he “snapped and shot a couple of people” in a vehicle on Seventh Street in St. Paul.
After Suggs explained what had happened, Osborne followed him to Wisconsin in a separate vehicle, leaving one of the vehicles with the bodies inside behind. Osborne and Suggs eventually returned to Minnesota.
The deaths of Nitosha Lee Flug-Presley, Loyace Foreman III, Matthew Isiah Pettus, and Jasmine Christine Sturm were found inside an SUV abandoned in a cornfield in rural Dunn County. Authorities claim they all perished as a result of gunshot wounds.
Suggs was sentenced to more than 100 years in prison for the killings.
On Wednesday, a jury in Dunn County Court convicted Osborne. The state had brought Suggs to the witness, but court records show he did not answer questions.
