Terrifying footage captured the moment a kidnapped Missouri woman was shot and killed by her captors after they tried to drain her bank account.
Michelle Hampton, 37, was found suffering from multiple gun shot wounds near 4745 Greer Avenue in St. Louis on November 20.
Surveillance footage obtained by First Alert 4 captured the shooting and showed Hampton walking down the alleyway being followed by a yellow RAM truck.
Court documents revealed that Hampton's twin sister, Samantha, witnessed the kidnapping and tracked her phone to the area.
At the scene, investigators discovered a receipt for a bank withdrawal. They contacted the bank and were provided with images that showed Hampton sitting in the back of the yellow truck with a masked man sitting in the drivers seat.
Phone data from the Life360 application showed Hampton had visited several banks after being kidnapped.
One stop was made at a PNC drive-thru on Page Boulevard where Hampton attempted to withdraw $10,000. The request was rejected and she was only allowed to take out $2,000.
Her captors then took her to a PNC on Chippewa where her request was again denied. The truck sped off after staff asked Hampton to go inside to complete the transaction.

Surveillance footage then captured Hampton walking down the street with an unknown person being followed by the truck.
The truck parked a few feet away before the driver got out, shot her and then drove off.
Police used AT&T data to track down the vehicle and after they obtained a search warrant, they discovered an empty PNC bank envelope, according to the local news station.
A sweatshirt matching the description of what the suspect was wearing in the footage was discovered in a nearby dumpster.
Using DNA evidence from the sweatshirt, police identified the suspect as 43-year-old Anjuan Mosby, the boyfriend of Hampton's twin sister.
Samantha reportedly told investigators she had informed Mosby about a $40,000 settlement her sister had received on behalf of their brother.
Court documents obtained by KSDK stated Samantha 'expressed fear to return home after her interview with the police because she was afraid that Mosby was involved in Michelle's kidnapping.'
Mosby is facing 20 charges including first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping for Hampton's death.
He pleaded not guilty on Monday and his next court hearing is scheduled for January 7.

A second man, 36-year-old Emmanuel Suarez (pictured) was charged with first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree robbery and eight other counts in connection to the case
During a police interview, Mosby reportedly stated that he plotted with co-conspirators to kidnap Hampton and force her to withdraw money - but planned to let her go.
On Tuesday, a second man, 36-year-old Emmanuel Suarez was charged with first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree robbery and eight other counts in connection to the case.
Court documents viewed by KSDK stated that Suarez was seen driving the yellow truck in the days before and after Hampton's death. His DNA was reportedly found on items that were in the truck and thrown into a dumpster.
They also said Mosby's phone showed he had multiple connections with someone named 'Manny' who they believe is Suarez.
