Two St. Louis men, Anjuan Q. Mosby and Emmanuel Suarez, have been charged in connection with a kidnapping case that resulted in the death of a woman in Clayton, Missouri. Mosby, 43, faces a federal charge of kidnapping resulting in death. The Department of Justice alleges that Mosby kidnapped the woman last Wednesday, forced her to withdraw money from a bank, and then shot her after she failed to make a second withdrawal. Mosby is scheduled to appear in court, according to the United States Attorney’s Office.

Emmanuel Suarez, 36, was arrested on Monday and charged the following day with being a felon in possession of a firearm. He is accused of driving a stolen Ram pickup during the kidnapping and having a .45-caliber Glock when he was arrested. These charges are accusations, and both Suarez and Mosby are presumed innocent until proven guilty, as reported by the United States Attorney’s Office.

The Department of Justice notes that if convicted, Mosby could face life imprisonment or the death penalty, along with a fine of up to $250,000, for the kidnapping charge. Suarez could face up to 15 years in prison for the firearms charge. The case is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashley Walker and is part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative aimed at addressing violent crime. The investigation that led to these charges involved the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, FBI, Clayton Police Department, and St. Louis County Police Department, as stated by the United States Attorney’s Office.
