CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) – An 18-year-old is facing more charges in connection with
the shooting death of a St. Louis County police officer.
Trenton Forster already had been charged with first-degree murder and armed
criminal action in last October’s killing of 33-year-old Blake Snyder. The St.
Louis Post-Dispatch reports that an indictment returned last week adds charges
of second-degree assault and another count of armed criminal action.
Forster is accused of fatally shooting Snyder in the face Oct. 6 after the
officer responded to a reported disturbance. The new counts relate to Forster’s
alleged pointing of a gun at Snyder’s police partner.
During a hearing Tuesday in Clayton, Forster was granted a request for a new
judge.
Forster has pleaded not guilty and remains jailed on $1 million bond.
