Michelle Hampton was 37 when she was ambushed and killed on the morning of November 20, 2024. Loved ones remembered her as a devoted mother to her daughter Destiny and a generous, enthusiastic friend. Her twin sister Samantha discovered the scene about 7:15 a.m. and found Michelle in the driver’s seat of her own SUV with a masked gunman in the passenger seat; a stolen yellow Dodge Ram with at least one other person was also present.

The attackers forced Michelle to drive to several banks to withdraw a reported $40,000 settlement from her account. At a PNC Bank drive-thru on Page Boulevard she attempted to withdraw $10,000 but was only given $2,000; another transaction was made at a Bank of America on Lindell Boulevard. The ordeal ended in a North St. Louis alley; police found Michelle’s body around 11:00 a.m. in the 4700 block of Greer Avenue. She had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators arrested 43-year-old Anjuan Q. Mosby, identified as the gunman, and 36-year-old Emmanuel Suarez, identified as the driver of the stolen truck. Both faced state charges including first-degree murder, kidnapping, robbery and armed criminal action, and were indicted federally on kidnapping resulting in death. Has anyone in the area seen suspicious activity near Whitburn Drive or the banks that morning, or have information about the stolen yellow Dodge Ram?
