Missouri Supreme Court sets June execution date for convicted killer David Hosier

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Supreme Court on Wednesday set an execution date for David Hosier, who is on death row for the 2009 murder of a Jefferson City woman.

Hosier will die by injection at the state prison in Bonne Terre, Missouri, on June 11 at 6 p.m. It is the second execution in the state scheduled for this year. Brian Dorsey will be put to death on April 9 for killing his cousin and her husband in 2006.

Hosier, 69, was sentenced to death for the murder of Angela Gilpin. He dated Gilpin while she was separated from her husband, who was also shot to death in her Jefferson City apartment.

Hosier claimed on appeal that his trial counsel was inadequate and that the judge had a conflict of interest. The Missouri Supreme Court denied that appeal in 2019.

Messages were left with Hosier’s attorney on Wednesday.
