A Missouri man admitted he killed a woman’s boyfriend after demanding his money back from a prostitute, police said Sunday.
The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Eric Moore Jr., 26, of St. Louis, with second-degree murder, robbery and armed criminal action, according to a news release from St. Louis County police.
Moore arranged via text messages to pay $60 to a prostitute and met her at a St. Louis motel on Saturday, the probable cause statement said.
