Anjuan Q. Mosby, 43, has been convicted of at least 15 state offenses, including assault, stealing and tampering with a motor vehicle, and two federal gun crimes over the last 25 years.

Now, he faces charges including first-degree murder and federal kidnapping after police said he abducted Michelle Hampton last week, forced her to withdraw money from her bank accounts and eventually killed her. Police would not say on Monday if they were looking for another kidnapper, but said the investigation was "very active."

Mosby is set to make his first appearance in state court on Monday afternoon. He was arrested and charged over the weekend.

But public record of Mosby's convictions begins in 1999 when he was charged with several counts of stealing. He later admitted to the charges and was sentenced to probation.

Over the next several years, he racked up additional stealing and tampering cases and was eventually sentenced to state prison.

Then, in 2007, he was charged in federal court with being a felon possession of a firearm and sentenced to prison. But shortly after he got out, his probation was revoked, court records say.

In 2015, he was again charged federally for having a gun. Court records from that case say Mosby had tried to get a job after he was released from prison on his previous case but found it difficult.

He worked briefly in construction and with temporary jobs at factories, but it wasn't enough money to support his partner and two children, court records say.

"Anjuan admits that he became frustrated and fell back into old habits and spending time with old friends," Mosby's lawyer wrote in 2016.

He told his lawyer then that "being in the streets" led to the most recent gun charge.

Mosby was released from federal prison in 2022, court records show.

On Wednesday, Michelle Hampton's twin sister, Samantha Hampton, said she went to her sister's apartment building in Clayton and saw her sister in the driver's seat of her SUV. A masked man was sitting in the passenger seat.

Samantha Hampton said her sister drove away with the masked man as Samantha followed. A yellow truck was on her tail.

Samantha called police but said she stopped following her sister after the passenger in Michelle's SUV began shooting at her.

At some point, Michelle moved to the back of the yellow truck, and her captors brought her to at least three different banks, court documents say.

They ordered her to withdraw $10,000 from a PNC drive-up window on Page Boulevard, court documents say. The staff only allowed her to take $2,000.

Then she took out $1,000 at the Bank of America on Lindell Boulevard and went to another PNC, on Chippewa Street, but the teller requested she come inside to withdraw money. The yellow truck then drove off, court documents say.

At 11 a.m. Wednesday, Michelle was found shot to death in an alley in the 4700 block of Greer Avenue. Police said she was shot multiple times.

Federal court records say Mosby was with Michelle in the yellow Ram truck during each of the bank visits. Records say Mosby gave Michelle a chance to run away when they got to the alley on Greer, but when she didn't, he shot her.

Mosby worked with at least one other person to kidnap her that day in order to get the money, records say.

But the court documents don't say how he knew her or why she was targeted.

Mosby's co-conspirators were supposed to burn the truck, the gun used in the murder and the sweatshirt he was wearing after the kidnapping, federal authorities wrote in court documents.

But authorities later recovered the sweatshirt from a dumpster, and the yellow truck hidden in a garage.
