Jessica N. Champion was 23 when she was found with a fatal gunshot wound in a Days Inn hotel room on North Hanley Road in Hazelwood, Missouri, in the early morning of October 4, 2016. Emergency responders arrived about 12:40 a.m.; Hazelwood Fire Department paramedics provided lifesaving aid and she was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Police identified a suspect and arrested 25-year-old Blake Edgar later that day. Authorities said Edgar had prior convictions for burglary and stealing and had admitted to being a drug user. The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged him with second-degree murder, second-degree assault, and two counts of armed criminal action; a judge set a $250,000 cash-only bond.
