St. Louis officials charged 46-year-old Brandon Levy with first degree murder in the shooting death of off-duty Police Officer Demond Taylor 17 years ago in the Academy neighborhood in St. Louis. Taylor was gunned down when he was driving to pick up one of his sons along Page Boulevard.
Three witnesses identified Levy as the man who shot and killed Officer Levy.
FBI Special Agent Chris Crocker released a statement on X following the arrest of Levy this weekend.
The FBI had been working hand-in-hand with local St. Louis homicide detectives for years to solve the case.

FOX 2 reported:
Authorities noted that officer Taylor would have turned 52 this past Sunday.
Levy was charged with one count of first-degree murder, but he has now been released, posting a $5,000 cash-only bond.
“After a confined docket hearing on August 25, 2025, Associate Circuit Judge Michael Colona modified the defendant’s bond to $50,000 cash-only, requiring 10 percent to be posted. The State requested that the bond conditions imposed on August 23, 2025, remain in place. The defendant posted bond, and the court released him under court-ordered conditions.
Associate Circuit Judge Michael Colona served as a Democrat in the Missouri legislature before his appointment to the Circuit Attorney’s office.
