Dunn County Sheriff Kevin Bygd says his office “is working hard on a thorough investigation with many other agencies to bring a swift end to this investigation to ensure justice is served for these four victims as soon as possible. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of these victims. I wish we could release more details of our investigation but we have to balance the public’s desire to know the details with running the risk of harming our investigation and losing evidence for building a good homicide case.”

The sheriff identified the victims as:

  • Nitosha Lee Flug-Presley, 30 years old of Stillwater
  • Matthew Isiah Pettus, 26 years old of Saint Paul
  • Loyace Foreman III, 35 years old of Saint Paul
  • Jasmine Christine Sturm, 30 years old of Saint Paul

A fundraiser has been started for the family of one of the victims:
