From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
ST. LOUIS — A 40-year-old Country Club Hills man is being sought in connection with two area homicides this year, St. Louis County police said.
Rodney West Toney, of the 7000 block of Calvin Avenue, was charged Thursday by the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office with second-degree murder and delivery of a controlled substance in connection with a Jan. 12 killing of a Granite City man in a parking lot in Riverview.
He is also being sought in connection to a July 6 killing of a woman outside a salon in the 2100 block of Chambers Road in north St. Louis County.
Toney was not in custody, but prosecutors said he may be in the Memphis, Tennessee, area.
In the January killing, Ronald Ross, of the 200 block of Elm Avenue of Granite City, was found shot about 9 p.m. in a parking lot in the 200 block of Chambers Road in Riverview. He was later pronounced dead.
According to information from police, the killing happened after an argument during an attempted drug sale. St. Louis County police said Toney could be seen in a surveillance video from the scene, and that Toney was later questioned by police in connection with the incident.
In the July homicide, Kimmy Goodson, 39, of the 10000 block of Grosvenor Drive in Riverview, died after being shot about 5:15 p.m. outside a beauty salon in north St. Louis County.
Toney was Goodson's ex-boyfriend, police said.
Goodson and a man had arrived together at the salon, where a fight began between the two, police said. It continued after they stepped outside, and the man shot the woman, then fled on foot, police said.
At the time of Goodson’s shooting, authorities said Toney was wearing a GPS monitor while he was out on parole for a robbery case. Police said that monitor placed Toney in the salon prior to the shooting and on the parking lot at the time of the incident.

Thoughts? As of this posting date (September 30th, 2021), a search of Missouri's online criminal court records shows still no movement in cases against Toney since a warrant was issued on September 23rd, 2021. Also remember that although you should call in a tip no matter where you think you may spot Toney, he is specifically known to have ties to Memphis, Tennessee.
