New details about the kidnapping and murder of a Clayton woman

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (First Alert 4) – First Alert 4 has learned new details from the kidnapping and murder investigation of a Clayton, Missouri woman in early November.

According to court documents obtained by First Alert 4, on Nov. 20, SLMPD received a call of a shooting in the rear of 4745 Greer Avenue. Officers found the victim, identified as Michelle Hampton, on scene suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead.

A .40 caliber shell casing was also recovered from the scene.

Surveillance video captured the shooting and showed Hampton walking down an alley with an unknown person. A yellow RAM truck followed the two and eventually parked a few meters away from them. According to police, that’s when the suspect shot Hampton before entering the RAM and fleeing.

According to court documents, Hampton’s sister, who witnessed the kidnapping, reported it earlier in the day. She noted that Hampton’s phone was stationary in the area of ​​North Euclid Avenue shortly after the shooting.

She contacted SLMPD, who responded and found Hampton’s phone on the ground.

Investigators also found a receipt for a bank withdrawal at the crime scene. The bank was contacted and provided pictures of Hampton withdrawing money in a yellow RAM truck. The truck was determined to have been stolen from Bridgeton, Missouri, and was reportedly the same truck used in three separate attempted ATM burglaries in St. Louis City and County in the hours before the hijacking.

Using the Life360 application, investigators tracked Hampton’s location and determined that the two had visited numerous banks during the kidnapping.

Investigators learned that the two had stopped at a PNC window on Page Boulevard, where Hampton attempted to withdraw $10,000. The staff rejected the request and instead approved a $2,000 withdrawal.

Shortly thereafter, the vehicle attempted to withdraw cash from a PNC in Chippewa. They were turned away and quickly sent away after staff asked that the transaction take place indoors.

At about 10:56 a.m., a shotgun blast discovered gunshots in the alley behind 4745 Greer Avenue, where Hampton’s body was eventually found.

Investigators used AT&T location data to determine where the RAM truck was parked. After a search warrant was obtained, the truck was recovered by police. Authorities found an empty PNC bank envelope in the apartment. In a nearby dumpster, authorities found a sweatshirt that matched the description of the suspect’s sweatshirt on the surveillance video.

The suspect was identified as Anjuan Mosby. The sweatshirt tested positive for traces of Mosby’s DNA.

Hampton’s sister, identified in court documents as SH, also told investigators that she and Mosby had been romantically involved. She said she informed Mosby of a $40,000 settlement that Hampton negotiated on her brother’s behalf.

Historical data obtained from Mosby’s phone matched locations relevant to the investigation.

Mosby has previously been convicted of at least 15 state crimes.

On November 22, police located Mosby using a cell phone simulator and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. Mosby fled but was stopped after a spike strip was deployed.

He then fled on foot but was taken into custody.
