The Missouri Supreme Court has scheduled a June 11 execution
date for a convicted killer from Jefferson City who’s under a
death sentence for a high-profile 2009 case.
69-year-old David Hosier was convicted of first degree murder
and armed criminal action for the 2009 killing of Angela Gilpin,
who was killed by a submachine gun. Court documents say Hosier
had been having an affair with Gilpin, who was a married woman.
The court filings say the affair ended, and that Angela
reconciled with her husband Rodney in August 2009.
Prosecutors say Hosier broke into Angela Gilpin’s apartment on
Jefferson City’s West Main in September 2009, shooting and
killing both Angela and her husband.
The Missouri Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case in
2019. Hosier’s attorney said that Hosier had suffered a stroke
and brain damage and that Hosier’s brain “was dead in places.”
The Missouri attorney general’s office questioned whether Hosier
had a stroke, saying the stroke didn’t explain a 1986 assault on
his wife or his threat to kill multiple police officers.
Court documents say Oklahoma authorities allegedly found 15
firearms in Hosier’s vehicle after his capture, along with a
bulletproof vest and a crowbar.

Missouri inmate executed for 2009 murder of Jefferson City woman
and husband--

BONNE TERRE, Mo. – A Missouri man who killed the woman he was
having an affair with and her husband in 2009 was put to death
late Tuesday afternoon.
David R. Hosier, 69, died via a lethal dose of pentobarbital.
The execution was carried out just after 6 p.m. on June 11 at
the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center in
Bonne Terre, Missouri. He was declared dead at 6:11 p.m.,
according to a Missouri Department of Corrections statement to
the Associated Press.
Hosier was served his final meal around 11 a.m., which consisted
of a New York strip steak, a baked potato with butter and sour
cream, Texas toast, a Dutch apple pie, orange juice, and milk.
Hosier was convicted on Oct. 23, 2013, of first-degree murder,
first-degree burglary, armed criminal action, and possession of
a firearm for the murder of Angela Gilpin. He was sentenced to
death on Nov. 26, 2013, with jurors believing he was also
responsible for Rodney Gilpin’s murder.
Both Angela and Rodney Gilpin were gunned down near the doorway
to their Jefferson City apartment in September 2009. David
Hosier admitted that he and Angela had an affair earlier that
year but said Angela broke it off to reconcile with her husband.
Hosier was later arrested in Oklahoma after authorities tracked
his cellphone. Police found more than a dozen guns and 400
rounds of ammunition, along with other weapons. A note was also
in the vehicle, which read, in part, “Be honest with them if
there is something wrong. If you do not this could happen to
YOU!!”
Hosier claimed he was taking a long drive to clear his head and
denied he was fleeing the state. He said the weapons in his car
were for hunting. He also had no recollection of the note.
Governor Mike Parson rejected a clemency petition by Hosier’s
attorneys on Monday, paving the way for Tuesday’s execution. The
appeal focused on Hosier’s father, a former Indiana State Police
sergeant, being killed in the line of duty in 1971 when David
was just 16. David Hosier went on to spend four years in the
U.S. Navy and eventually became a firefighter and EMT in
Jefferson City.
Parson, a former county sheriff, has not granted clemency for
capital punishment during his tenure as governor. In a statement
confirming the state would carry out the sentence, Parson said
Hosier has not shown remorse for killing Gilpin or her husband.
‘Ms. Angela Gilpin had her life stolen by David Hosier because
he could not accept it when she ended their romantic
involvement. He displays no remorse for his senseless violence,”
Governor Parson said. “For these heinous acts, Hosier earned
maximum punishment under the law. I cannot imagine the pain
experienced by Angela’s and Rodney’s loved ones but hope that
carrying out Hosier’s sentence according to the Court’s order
brings closure.’
Hosier murdered Angela and Rodney Gilpin at their apartment in
Jefferson City, Missouri, in a jealous rage. Hosier, with a
decades-long history of violence against women, would not let
Angela reconcile with Rodney, stalking and harassing her for
weeks before murdering her and her husband. Hosier then fled but
was apprehended with the help of law enforcement in Oklahoma to
answer for his crimes. Although Hosier did not receive an
additional conviction for murdering Rodney, the jury in Angela’s
trial determined that Hosier murdered both victims, as it
related to Hosier’s sentence. No court has ever found any error
in Hosier’s case.
Hosier’s attorneys said they had no other appeals pending. For
his part, Hosier disagreed with his lawyer’s tactic of focusing
on childhood trauma in the appeal. Hosier believed the appeal
should have centered on the lack of fingerprint or DNA evidence
and no eyewitness testimony.
The Missouri Supreme Court previously upheld Hosier’s conviction
in 2019.
Hosier is the second person executed in Missouri this year. In
April, Brian Dorsey was executed for killing his cousin and her
husband in 2006.
