Greed, Poison, and an Alleyway Execution: Andrew Hubbard Hired Cousin Eric Washington and Kim Mosley to Kill Andreaia Worthem—Now All Three Await Federal Prison Sentences

The Blueprint

In the heart of St. Louis, where the shadows grow deep,

A dark tale of greed robbed a family of sleep.

Back in twenty-nineteen, a signature was signed,

A son took a policy, with malice designed.

One hundred and fifty thousand on his own mother’s head,

A countdown to treason for the blood that she bred.

The question hangs heavy in the chill of the air:

How do you plot to kill your own mother without care?

How do you look at the woman who gave you your life,

And measure her breath against silver and strife?

Laying the Foundation

Andrew Hubbard of Maryland Heights built the scheme,

In June twenty-twenty-three, chasing a dream.

He wanted her gone, so he drafted a plan,

And brought in the people who answered the hand.

Kim Alexis Mosley was brought to the floor,

Fifty thousand in cash if she opened that door.

Then cousin Eric Washington entered the space,

To deliver the poison and finish the race.

Ten thousand promised to carry the deed,

Spiked cocaine arranged for the terrible need.

On a night in July, the deception began,

A ride through the city, executing the plan.

The Demolition

Down Kennerly Avenue, in the depths of the night,

The poison had failed, so the gun ended sight.

Multiple gunshots, then her body was left,

A soul torn away by cold-blooded theft.

A call at eleven: “The work has been done,”

A message delivered directly to the son.

The Cleanup

They shattered the phone, bought and buried the track,

Took the car into Illinois, driving him back.

Yet the ten thousand dollars turned into four-fifty in change,

A handful of drugs, an insulting exchange.

The gunman grew restless, the patience grew thin,

He dialed the insurers to bring the cash in.

He claimed he did “work” and was waiting on pay,

And handed the feds every word they would say.

Condemnation and Judgment

Now the courtrooms are quiet, the pleas entered in,

Hubbard and Mosley and Washington’s sin.

Sentencing dates on the calendar set,

To pay for the blood in an unpaid debt.

The question still echoes through city and street,

Where money and cruelty and tragedy meet:

How do you plot to kill your own mother?

How do you look at the woman who carried your frame,

And sacrifice her life for a dollar and shame?

From heartbreaking losses to shocking crimes, these stories paint a sobering picture of the challenges facing our communities. Let’s hope for justice, healing, and a safer tomorrow.
