Authorities have arrested one suspect and continue to search for another in the slaying of four people found fatally shot inside an SUV left in a Wisconsin cornfield, reports MSN.

Darren Lee McWright, who uses the alias “Osbourne,” was taken into custody on Thursday and jailed in Ramsey County, Minnesota, on four counts of hiding a corpse. A warrant has also been issued for 38-year-old Antoine Darnique Suggs, who is believed to be in the Twin Cities area.

Both men are believed to be connected to the quadruple-homicide of 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. A farmer discovered their bodies Sunday in his Dunn County cornfield. All four had suffered gunshot wounds to the head, authorities said.

Investigators believe the victims “were randomly brought to” the area and that someone intentionally drove the SUV off the road and into the corn in the town of Sheridan

The night prior all four victims had gathered together in the White Squirrel Bar in St. Paul, about 60 miles east, family members said. Witnesses on the scene said they also spotted Suggs at the watering hole that Saturday. According to a complaint filed Thursday against McWright, Suggs at one point in the night joined Flug-Presley at the bar and even bought her a shot of tequila.

The victim’s aunt said the pair had a “thing” and that Suggs would often fly from Arizona to visit Flug-Presley. Public records show that Suggs had been living recently in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he’s listed as the manager and owner of Darnque Apparel.
