ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — An Arizona man who allegedly told his father he "snapped and shot a couple of people" was charged Tuesday with murder, about a week after four bodies were found in an abandoned SUV in western Wisconsin.

Antoine Suggs, 38, of Scottsdale, Arizona, faces four counts of second-degree intentional murder without premeditation.

Suggs is jailed in Arizona, awaiting extradition to Minnesota.

On Sept. 17, Suggs turned himself into Gilbert police, the department said in a statement.

Suggs' father, 56-year-old Darren McWright, who also goes by the last name Osborne, has been charged in Wisconsin with four counts of hiding a corpse.

Another suspect, Darren Lee McWright, of St. Paul, Minnesota, was arrested on Sept. 16, the Associated Press reported.

The four victims, identified as Nitosha Lee Flug-Presley, 30, from Stillwater; Matthew Isiah Pettus, 26; Loyace Foreman III, 35; and Jasmine Christine Sturm, 30, of St. Paul, were found shot to death in an SUV in a cornfield last week.
