Man Wanted For New Year's Eve Slaying Of Realtor Monique Baugh Arrested In Chicago

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A man wanted in connection to the New Year's Eve slaying of Minneapolis realtor Monique Baugh is now in custody.

According to jail records in Cook County, 41-year-old Berry Davis was apprehended in Chicago.

Davis had eluded authorities since being indicted on charges of first-degree premeditated murder and kidnapping in the killing of Baugh; as well as attempted first-degree murder in the shooting of Baugh's boyfriend.

Police say Baugh was lured to a phony home showing, kidnapped and found shot to death in a Minneapolis alley. Then a masked shooter used Baugh's key to enter the home of her boyfriend and shoot him four times while his two daughters were present.

A man named Cedric Berry is also in custody on the same charges.

Back in February, court documents indicated that the crime may have been part of a murder-for-hire scheme involving a dispute over a recording deal.
