Two men have been sentenced to life in prison without parole for kidnapping a Minneapolis Realtor in 2019, torturing her in the back of a U-Haul truck while trying to find her rapper boyfriend, and then shooting her dead.
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 two Monique Baugh, 28, to a phony home showing in a Minneapolis suburb.
The pair 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.

Prosecutors said a former record label associate of Mitchell-Momoh's, Lyndon Wiggins, may have helped organize the killing, believing that Mitchell-Momoh had 'snitched' on him for drug dealing.
Momoh would later recover and testified at Davis and Berry's trial.
