William Baugh, 57, was found dead in an alley in Minneapolis on August 1, 2020, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. He worked as a real estate agent, and investigators tied his killing to a scheme in which he was lured to a sham home showing and then kidnapped and murdered.

Authorities arrested 41-year-old Cedric Lamont Berry on probable cause murder charges soon after the slaying. Prosecutors say the plot was part of a larger scheme orchestrated by Lydon Wiggins, described as a former music business associate of Baugh’s boyfriend, Jon Mitchell-Momoh, and that revenge against Mitchell-Momoh played a motivating role. Elsa Segura, a former probation officer, admitted arranging the phony showing; she was convicted in 2021 of aiding and abetting premeditated first-degree murder but said she believed she was helping Wiggins’ drug business and did not know of a plan to kidnap and kill Baugh.

Three other defendants connected to the plot were sentenced to life without parole. The Minnesota Supreme Court later reversed Segura’s conviction on two of four charges, citing insufficient evidence and erroneous jury instructions.

If anyone knew Baugh, his movements in Minneapolis around late July 2020, or the people involved in the sham showing, please share what you know.
