St. Paul man found guilty of helping son hide bodies in Wisconsin

In September 2021, the bodies of four friends were found in a cornfield in western Wisconsin.

MENOMONIE, Wis. — The man accused of helping his son hide the bodies of four people in a western Wisconsin cornfield has been found guilty Wednesday by a jury. 

Darren L. Osborne was charged with four counts of hiding a corpse - party to a crime. His son, Antoine Suggs, was convicted of fatally shooting a group of friends in St. Paul.

According to the complaint filed in Ramsey County, on the morning of Sept. 12, 2021, Suggs told Osborne he "snapped and shot a couple of people" in a vehicle on Seventh Street in St. Paul. After Suggs told him what had occurred, Osborne followed Suggs to Wisconsin in a separate vehicle, leaving one of the vehicles with the bodies inside behind. Osborne and Suggs then returned to Minnesota.
