Nebraska Man Indicted for Violent Carjackings in Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS - A Nebraska man has been indicted for two carjackings, announced U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger.

According to court documents, on June 16, 2024, Nathan Mathias Sughroue, 31, used violence and intimidation to steal a Hyundai Elantra from one victim. Later that same day, Sughroue used force and violence that resulted in serious bodily injury to steal a Nissan Murano from a second victim.

The indictment charges Sughroue with two counts of carjacking. Sughroue made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court on August 29, 2024, before Magistrate Judge Tony N. Leung. He was ordered to remain in federal custody pending further proceedings.

This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Shakopee Police Department, Robbinsdale Police Department, Minneapolis Police Department, Minnesota State Patrol, and the FBI.

Assistant U.S. Attorney David M. Classen is prosecuting the case.

An indictment is merely an allegation and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
