The case was highly publicized due to its complexity and the revenge scheme that led to Baugh's murder. Prosecutors said Segura lured Baugh to a phony home showing in the Minneapolis suburb of Maple Grove, where she was kidnapped. Baugh was found, fatally shot, in a Minneapolis alley in the early hours of 2020.
The motive behind the murder was a complicated revenge scheme against Baugh's boyfriend, Jon Mitchell-Momoh, a recording artist who had a falling out with former business associate Lyndon Akeem Wiggins, who was also a drug dealer and Segura's romantic partner. Mitchell-Momoh, whom Wiggins allegedly considered a snitch, was also shot in front of the couple's children, then ages 1 and 3. He survived.
The Minnesota Supreme Court had overturned Segura's initial conviction in 2021, citing faulty jury instructions. The plea deal means Segura will avoid a second trial. The Hennepin County Attorney's Office said Lyndon Akeem Wiggins, who was also convicted in the case, is being held in the county jail and faces retrial.
The high court has affirmed the convictions of two other defendants who were accused of kidnapping Baugh. Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill sentenced all four to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
