ST. LOUIS – A Tennessee man wanted for a 2024 murder was arrested over the weekend following a brief police pursuit that culminated in a wild crash.

The crash happened Sunday evening in the 4100 block of St. Louis Avenue, located in the Greater Ville neighborhood.

According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s probable cause statement, officers were patrolling the St. Louis Place neighborhood in a marked vehicle when they noticed a black Toyota Camry with heavily tinted windows and no front license plate.

The officers attempted to make traffic stop, but the driver conducted a U-turn and sped off. The Camry went west and eventually sped through the intersection at St. Louis Ave. and North Sarah Street before hitting another car, briefly going airborne, and landing on its side between two properties. The driver and a passenger were both taken into custody.

Police said officers found a Glock 23 .40 caliber pistol and a Mini Draco 7.62 caliber pistol in the vehicle, as well as suspected narcotics, cash, and a digital scale.

The driver, Anthony Tobias-Haywood, 29, had an at-large warrant for his arrest in a 2024 fatal shooting.

According to police, that shooting happened on April 22, 2024, just before 9 p.m. in the 1600 block of Hamilton Avenue, in the city’s Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood. The victim, Daniel Hughes, was killed in a drive-by shooting while standing on the sidewalk. Hughes was taken in a private vehicle to the hospital, where he later died. He was 27.

Investigators eventually determined Tobias-Haywood had rented the vehicle used in the drive-by shooting.

The St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office charged Tobias-Haywood in October 2024 with first-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of armed criminal action in connection with Hughes’ killing. Following his arrest on June 7, prosecutors also charged him with aggravated fleeing and two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm. Tobias-Haywood remains jailed without bond. He’s due in court on June 16 for a detention hearing, followed by a preliminary hearing on July 9.

Police and prosecutors said Tobias-Haywood is a convicted felon in Missouri. He was convicted in March 2016 for first-degree tampering with a motor vehicle, unlawful use of a weapon, resisting arrest, possession of a defaced firearm, second-degree burglary, stealing, and stealing a firearm.
