Grim final moments of Missouri death row inmate David Hoisier executed for killing former lover and her husband after he made shocking statement about his plans for the afterlife

A Missouri man has been executed for killing his former lover and her husband just days after his clemency was denied.

David Hosier, 69, was pronounced dead at 6:11 p.m. Tuesday after being injected with a single dose of the sedative pentobarbital at the state prison in Bonne Terre.

Hosier was convicted of the 2009 murders of Angela and Rodney Gilpin in Jefferson City.

He turned his head several times and breathed hard twice as the medicine was administered.

All movement stopped within seconds, even as his spiritual advisor sat next to him, Pastor Jeff Hood, continued to pray.

At 11 a.m. he was served his last meal: a New York strip steak, baked potato with butter and sour cream, Texas toast, Dutch apple pie, milk and orange juice. FOX2 reports.

Hosier maintained his innocence until his death and spoke about going to heaven in a statement released before his execution.

‘I leave you all with love, now I can go to heaven. Don’t cry for me. Just come with me when your time comes,” he said.

He also published a quote from the New Testament: “For I am poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand; I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. .

“At last there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that Day. Timothy 4:6.7.8′

The Gilpins were found shot to death in the hallway of Angela’s Jefferson City apartment on September 29, 2009.

Angela Gilpin and Rodney Gilpin were shot dead in 2009. David Hosier was romantically involved with Angela while the couple was on a break and prosecutors say Hosier killed them after they got back together.

Hosier’s motive for killing them was that he was dating Angela while she was separated from Rodney sometime in 2008 or 2009, according to court records.

When Angela made the decision to return to her husband in the summer of 2009, Hosier was heard saying that if she didn’t “come with him” he would “end it one way or another.”

The way was cleared for his execution on Monday after Governor Mike Parson rejected his clemency request.

‘Mrs. “Angela Gilpin’s life was stolen by David Hosier because he couldn’t accept it when she ended their romantic involvement,” he said.

‘He shows no remorse for his senseless violence. For these heinous acts, Hosier received the maximum penalty under the law.”

The Republican, who served as Polk County sheriff for 22 years, has overseen 10 executions since becoming governor in 2018.

In the days before the Gilpins were killed, Hosier allegedly made comments to others threatening to attack Angela.

And after the shooting, police discovered two crucial pieces of evidence in Angela’s bag: an application for a protective order and another document in which she wrote about her fear that Hosier would shoot her and her husband.

At that point, Hosier became the prime suspect for police, who tracked him down to Oklahoma using cell phone tower data.

When they caught up to Hosier and stopped his car, court records show he got out and told the officers, “Shoot me and end it.”

Authorities searched his car and found 15 firearms, 400 rounds of ammunition and other weapons.

A submachine gun they found is the weapon investigators believe Hosier shot the Gilpins, although tests on it were inconclusive, the Associated Press reported.

Hosier explained all this away by saying he wasn’t on the run, but he was taking a long drive to clear his head. The weapons were with him because he was an avid hunter, he said.

However, Hosier has acknowledged his romantic relationship with Angela.

He was the second inmate executed in Missouri this year. Brian Dorsey, 52, was executed by lethal injection in April for killing his cousin and her husband.
