Authorities later determined that Baugh was lured to a real estate property under the guise of showing a house to a prospective buyer. She was kidnapped and put into a rental truck which was also spotted at her home where Mitchell-Momoh had been shot. Baugh was later shot and dumped in an alley. Police spoke with two people on the rental truck agreement who said they traded the vehicle to a man named Cedric Berry, in exchange for heroin. Berry was charged with second-degree murder and kidnapping, but he wasn't working alone.

A woman by the name of Elsa Segura was the person responsible for calling Baugh and setting up the fake house showing, per KARE 11. She was sentenced to life in prison for her involvement, but that conviction was reversed and as of January 2024 she is awaiting a new trial. Berry and a man by the name of Berry Davis were found guilty of first-degree murder, attempted murder, and kidnapping, and are both serving life sentences without parole.

The person who orchestrated this revenge plot was Lyndon Wiggins who was a former business associate of Mitchell-Momoh, reported CBS News. Wiggins was also a drug dealer who suspected Mitchell-Momoh "was a snitch." He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. A fifth person was sentenced to 90 days in jail which began Feb. 2, 2023. KSTP reported that Shante Cheriece Davis is married to Cedric Berry and is the sister of Berry Davis. She booked a hotel room for those involved and drove her husband to pick up the UHAUL.
