List of people executed in Missouri since 1989 Since 1989, a total of 102 people were executed by the State of Missouri. All were convicted of first-degree murder and all were executed by lethal injection, although lethal gas remains a legal method of execution.

Between April 1989 and March 2005, executions were carried out at the Potosi Correctional Center in Mineral Point. Since April 2005, all subsequent executions have been carried out at the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center in Bonne Terre.
