Blake Donlee Toolooze, a 23-year-old man from Saint Louis, was found shot to death on the evening of August 16, 2020, in the 8400 block of Minnesota Avenue in the city’s south. Police treated the death as a homicide and the Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened an investigation. Born April 25, 1996, Blake was remembered by his family as caring and active — he liked riding street bikes, skateboarding, and spending time with his young daughter, Leah Lorraine Toolooze.

The investigation led to the arrest of 29-year-old Robert Judd, who was charged by the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful possession of a firearm; he was held without bond. Motive and the precise circumstances of the shooting have not been widely released.
