Iowa Man, Webster Groves Woman Charged In Shrewsbury Stabbing

SHREWSBURY, MO — Police have identified 33-year-old Justin Hughes as the man stabbed to death behind a Shrewsbury Walmart Monday night. Two people have been charged in connection with his murder.

Police say 28-year-old Robin Anthony Holland stabbed Hughes multiple times after an argument broke out in a wooded area behind the store. Abigail Miller, a 21-year-old woman who was present for the stabbing, was also charged for failing to notify authorities.

Holland is from Spirit Lake, Iowa, the Post-Dispatch reports. It's unclear why he was in St. Louis. His father told the paper in an interview that he "actively work[s]" not to think about his son.

Miller is from Webster Groves.

Firefighters washed away a blood trail several hundred feet long from the Walmart's parking lot Tuesday morning. Police say drugs and alcohol were likely involved in the incident.
