Cedric Berry and Berry Davis, both 42, were convicted for their involvement in an elaborate New Years Eve plot in which they lured realtor and mother-of -wo Monique Baugh, 28, to a phony home showing in a Minneapolis suburb.
The pair who are related by marriage – Cedric Berry is married to Berry Davis’ sister, Shante Davis – then abducted her in a U-Haul truck and tortured her for three hours while they sought information about the whereabouts of her rapper boyfriend Jon Mitchell-Momoh, known by his stage name Momoh.
They then shot her in the head, heart and spine before dumping her in an alley.  
Momoh, who had been accused of snitching on a former business associate, was later shot multiple times but survived, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.  
Baugh was found gravely injured, and later died in a hospital.

Mitchell-Momoh, who goes by the stage name Momoh, was believed to have been the target of the kidnapping and killing after a falling out with an associate, Lyndon Wiggins. The latter’s girlfriend, Elsa Segura , a former Hennepin County probation officer, allegedly set up the 2019 murder of Monique Baugh.

At the killers’ sentencing, Baugh’s mother Wanda Williams Baugh gave a tearful impact statement and said her daughter had faced evil that night.
‘I can only imagine what was being said to her … how many times she begged for her life,’ she told the court. ‘My baby was so precious. How dare they!’ 
‘These defendants treated my daughter as if she was less than human,’ she said. ‘My daughter came face-to-face with evil that New Year’s Eve.’ 
‘Monique loved being a mother,’ Baugh’s mother said. ‘I tell her girls that often.’
She said that her eldest granddaughter began asking difficult questions such as: ‘How is God going to save us if he couldn’t save Mommy?’
‘That’s a question a child should never have to ask,’ she added.

Elsa Segura, 29, who prosecutors say was romantically involved with Wiggins, allegedly lured Baugh to her death by setting up the phony house viewing.

‘I didn’t think I’d be convicted of this,’ Davis said during his sentencing. ‘If y’all watching the same show as me, didn’t prove me wrong.’  
‘I’d also just like to say sorry, something I thought I’d never say,’ Berry told the court. ‘Yet here I sit, a condemned man, sitting in the same seat as Derek Chauvin and I am about to get life without parole for a few fingerprints that said they were mine and some cell phones, and I’m considered a monster in the system.’
