Nitosha Lee Flug-Presley, a 30-year-old Black/African American female from Stillwater, Minnesota, was found deceased on Sunday, September 12, 2021. Her life was cut short in a tragic event that began as a night out with friends in St. Paul, Minnesota. Nitosha, along with her friend Jasmine Christine Sturm, 30, Sturm's half-brother Matthew Isiah Pettus, 26, and Sturm's boyfriend, Loyace Foreman III, 35, were discovered inside an abandoned Mercedes-Benz SUV left in a remote cornfield in Dunn
County, Wisconsin. All four had been fatally shot.
The investigation into the quadruple homicide quickly revealed that the crime did not occur where the bodies were found. Law enforcement determined that the four victims were killed in St. Paul in the early morning hours of September 12th. The group had been at a bar on West 7th Street with a man identified as Antoine Darnique Suggs, who Nitosha had been casually dating. It was inside the SUV, shortly after leaving the bar, that Suggs shot and killed all four occupants. For hours after the killings, he drove around the St. Paul area with the victims' bodies still in the vehicle.
The subsequent investigation led to the identification of two suspects. The primary suspect, Antoine Suggs, 38, eventually turned himself in to authorities in Arizona, where he had been living, and was extradited back to Minnesota. He was charged with four counts of second-degree murder. His father, Darren Lee McWright, 56, also known as Darren Osborne, was arrested in St. Paul and charged with multiple counts of hiding a corpse. According to criminal complaints, after the shootings, Suggs contacted his father for assistance. McWright then helped his son drive the vehicle containing the bodies over 60 miles to the cornfield in Wheeler, Wisconsin, where they abandoned it, hoping the victims would not be found.
During his trial, Antoine Suggs claimed he acted in self-defense, alleging the four were trying to rob him. However, prosecutors argued the act was intentional murder. A jury found Suggs guilty on all four counts of second-degree murder, and he was sentenced to 103 years in prison. His father, Darren McWright, was also convicted for his role in helping to conceal the crime and was sentenced to prison.
