Wiggins Convicted in Monique Baugh Murder Retrial

A Hennepin County jury found Lyndon Akeem Wiggins guilty on all counts in the 2019 kidnapping and execution of Minneapolis real estate agent Monique Baugh after a nearly three‑week retrial, returning a verdict after about six hours of deliberation. Jurors convicted him of aiding and abetting two counts of first‑degree murder, aiding and abetting attempted first‑degree murder, and aiding and abetting kidnapping to cause great bodily harm. Prosecutors say Wiggins masterminded the plot, directing his then‑girlfriend Elsa Segura to lure Baugh to a fake showing while Cedric Berry and Berry Davis tied her up, placed her in a U‑Haul and shot her; they say Baugh’s boyfriend, Jon Mitchell‑Momoh, was shot and injured in front of their children. Wiggins had been convicted in 2022, but the Minnesota Supreme Court overturned that verdict because a judge misstated the law in jury instructions, prompting the retrial. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 13, and Wiggins faces life in prison without parole. Family members reacted emotionally in court and Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said Wiggins “played a primary role” in Baugh’s death.
