Lyndon Wiggins Convicted Again in 2019 Abduction and Killing of Minneapolis Realtor Monique Baugh

The retrial followed a Minnesota Supreme Court reversal over faulty jury instructions.

Overview

  • A Hennepin County jury found Wiggins guilty on four counts, including aiding and abetting first-degree premeditated murder, attempted murder, and kidnapping.
  • Sentencing is set for Nov. 13, and prosecutors say he will receive life in prison without the possibility of parole.
  • Wiggins’ 2022 conviction was overturned when the state’s high court ruled the trial judge misstated the law to jurors.
  • Court records say a fake Maple Grove home showing arranged by codefendant Elsa Segura led to Baugh’s abduction into a U-Haul before she was shot and killed, and her boyfriend was also shot.
  • Two other men, Cedric Berry and Berry Davis, are serving life without parole, and Segura pleaded guilty to kidnapping in 2024 and received a 20-year sentence.
