CLAYTON, Mo. – A Florissant man and his son have been charged with kidnapping, restraining, and shooting a relative and leaving him to die in a home.

According to probable cause statements from the St. Louis County Police Department, the kidnapping and shooting happened on Tuesday, Aug. 26, in the 6900 block of Glenmore Avenue.

A good Samaritan called police after the victim came to their home and said he’d been shot. The victim was nude and had his hands zip-tied behind his back.

The victim told the caller that his cousin, Albert L. Myles, and Myles’ son, Jaylen Billups, came to his house to ask for money, then tied him up in the kitchen and shot him.

Officers followed a trail of blood from the caller's front door to a home down the street. The trail led through a garage and into the basement, where officers discovered a pool of blood and nine 9mm shell casings.

Police learned from the victim's other family members that Myles had come to the house several times in the past week to ask for money and believed there was money at the home because the victim's parents were business owners.

Investigators went to the hospital and learned the victim had been shot at least five times in his stomach and twice in his leg. The victim had been rushed to surgery and was intubated in the ICU.

The victim survived, and on Sept. 2, spoke with detectives. Police said the victim told them Myles used a stun gun to subdue him, then Billups and Myles restrained him and put a towel over his head. The duo wrapped the victim in plastic, restrained his hands behind his back, and kicked him in the head—all prior to shooting him.

Police said Myles and Billups stole $1,000 in cash from the victim and left the victim.

Investigators confirmed Myles' vehicle and cell phone were at the victim's home during a two-hour window when the kidnapping and shooting occurred. Video from the home doorbell camera showed Billups at the house during that time, too.

Myles was arrested on Aug. 27.

The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Myles with first-degree assault, first-degree kidnapping, first-degree attempted robbery, unlawful possession of a firearm, and armed criminal action. Myles remains jailed on a $750,000 bond. He’s due in court on Thursday, Sept. 5, for a bond reduction hearing. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 1.

Myles has a prior felony conviction. In November 1998, he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced the following month to 25 years in state prison.

Meanwhile, Billups was charged with first-degree kidnapping, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, and three counts of armed criminal action. Online records show Billups is not in custody.

Police said phone calls made by Myles while in jail indicate Billups is on the run.
