Second suspect surrenders after 4 friends found dead inside SUV left in Wisconsin cornfield
A man spotted buying a tequila shot with one of four people found dead inside an SUV abandoned in a Wisconsin cornfield has surrendered to authorities in Arizona.
Dunn County Sheriff Kevin Bygd in a statement revealed that 38-year-old Antoine Darnique Suggs turned himself in Friday night to police in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert. A warrant had been issued for his arrest in connection with the slayings of four friends from Minnesota, each of them found fatally shot Sunday morning.
The victims were identified as Nitosha Lee Flug-Presley, 30, of Stillwater; her friend, Jasmine Christine Sturm, 30, of St. Paul; Sturm´s brother, Matthew Isiah Pettus, 26, of St. Paul; and Sturm´s boyfriend, Loyace Foreman III, 35, of St. Paul.
The group was last seen alive the night before at White Squirrel Bar in St. Paul, a local watering hole about 60 miles east of the cornfield where their bodies were found. Witnesses on the scene said Suggs at one point during the night joined Flug-Presley for a drink at the bar.
The victim’s aunt said the pair had a “thing” and that Suggs would often fly from Arizona to visit Flug-Presley. According to public records, Suggs had been living recently in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he’s listed as the manager and owner of Darnque Apparel.
He’s currently being held in the Maricopa County Jail in Phoenix, where he is awaiting extradition to Wisconsin.
Suggs’ surrender comes after the arrest of Darren Lee McWright, who was taken into custody on Thursday and jailed in Ramsey County on four counts of hiding a corpse.
McWright is the biological father of Suggs’ brother, according to the complaint.
