ST. LOUIS — The 43-year-old suspect arrested in connection to the kidnapping and murder of a Clayton woman last week is facing 18 state charges and one federal charge. 

Over the weekend, police arrested Anjuan Mosby who admitted to the crimes. Police also say the victim and suspect knew each other.

On the morning of Nov. 20, police say Hampton was kidnapped by an armed suspect outside her home on Whitburn Drive. Hampton's sister witnessed this incident and followed her sister, police say. Court documents say a yellow truck also followed the sister. 

As Hampton's sister was calling 911, police say Mosby shot at her, shattering her driver side window. Her two children were also in the vehicle. No one was jurt, but that is when she stopped following her sister, according to court documents.

The probable cause statement says Hampton was forced to drive her personal car from Clayton into the city of St. Louis. She was later taken to  at least three different banks in St. Louis City in the yellow truck, making thousands of dollars in withdrawals. During each transaction, she was in the vehicle's backseat.

The victim was then taken to an alley in the 4700 block of Greer where she was shot multiple times by a male suspect with a handgun. The suspect then left the scene in the yellow truck, according to court documents. She died from the gunshot wounds.

The bank incidents and the shooting were captured on surveillance. 

Police later located the yellow truck in an abandoned residence. Officers also located items in a dumpster near the residence. Footage shows that those items seemed to have been in the back of the yellow truck during the crime spree.

One item was a coat that appeared to be a similar coat the shooter had been wearing when the murdered happened, according to court documents. The coat had the suspect's DNA on it, according to court documents.

The suspect was arrested after his car was spiked. Officers found a rifle and suspect narcotics inside the car.

The investigation is ongoing by police.

Mosby also is facing a federal charge, kidnapping resulting in death.

Mitchell McCoy, director of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s Public Affairs & Information Division, said it is rare to have a federal charge issued on a weekend.

“That goes to show you the amount of work that was being put into solving this (and) holding the individuals accountable,” he said.

“We cannot thank the U.S. Attorney’s Office and our federal counterparts enough for their assistance, along with the Clayton Police Department and the other law enforcement agencies that were involved in the capture of this very dangerous man.”
