Three Admit Role in St. Louis Murder-For-Hire
ST. LOUIS / Tuesday, September 22, 2026 – Three people have pleaded guilty and admitted a role in a murder-for-hire plot that resulted in the shooting death of a St. Louis County woman in 2023.
Kim Alexis Mosley, 33, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court Tuesday. Andrew C. Hubbard, 40, of Maryland Heights, pleaded guilty in June. Eric Washington, 47, of Jennings, pleaded guilty in July.
The plea agreements say that Hubbard applied for a $150,000 insurance policy for his mother, Andreaia Worthem, in April of 2019. Sometime around June of 2023, Hubbard hatched a plan to kill his mother for the insurance proceeds. He planned to kill her with cocaine base that had been spiked with a lethal dose of fentanyl or heroin. Hubbard discussed the plan with Mosley and promised her $50,000 if it succeeded. He then asked his cousin, Washington, to give his mother the drugs, knowing that Washington had recently overdosed. Washington agreed to supply the spiked cocaine for $10,000.
Around 10 p.m. on July 6, 2023, Washington picked up Worthem from her home in St. Louis County and drove her to St. Louis, where Washington shot her multiple times. He left her body in an alley in the 4400 block of Kennerly Avenue. Just after 11 p.m., Washington called Hubbard and said, “It’s done.” When Hubbard met with Washington to hear the details of the murder, Washington said that the drugs didn’t work, and said he shot Worthem instead.
St. Louis police officers found Worthem, 53, early the next morning in the alley. Later that day, Mosley paid Washington $200 for Worthem’s cell phone, which was destroyed. Washington had hidden the car he used to pick up Worthem, and Mosley and Hubbard followed him to Illinois to return the car and then gave him a ride back to St. Louis.
Hubbard paid Washington $450 and gave him cocaine and marijuana as a form of payment. Washington, impatient over not receiving the promised $10,000, would later call the insurance company to ask about the proceeds, saying he had "done some work" for Hubbard, who owed him money.
Hubbard pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and one count of murder-for-hire. He is scheduled to be sentenced December 1. Mosely and Washington pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire resulting in personal injury. Washington is scheduled to be sentenced on October 21 and Mosely on January 20.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Martin is prosecuting the case.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), the Department of Justice’s nationwide initiative that brings federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement, prosecutors, and other public safety partners together to coordinate efforts to combat violent crime and make communities safe. Coordinated by U.S. Attorneys’ offices in each of the 94 federal districts, PSN is tailored to particular communities to strategically address specific violent crime and public safety challenges. As a key component of Operation Take Back America, PSN serves a central role in the Department’s commitment to make our country safe. PSN emphasizes three core principles: rapid federal response to violent crime and criminal offenders; strong, strategic partnerships among law enforcement at all levels; and accountability and deterrence through the prosecution of the most serious, readily provable offenses and other strategies. These efforts complement and strengthen President Trump’s Homeland Security Task Forces, ensuring a comprehensive federal response to the most pressing public safety issues facing communities.
