David Mark Hill (May 24, 1960 – June 6, 2008) was an American spree killer who killed three people in South Carolina.[3]
Life
Hill married Jacqueline Hill in 1991. They had three children, one of whom became wheelchair-bound after an accident.[2] After that incident, Hill struggled with depression, panic attacks and seizures.[4]
In 1996, Hill received notice that his wife was filing for divorce, and he was accused of sexually abusing his daughter, who was quadriplegic.[4] On September 16 of that year, Hill went to a North Augusta social services office and killed Michael Gregory, Josie Curry and Jimmy Riddl, who all worked at the office.[5]
At trial in 2000, Hill's wife testified that he had tried to kill himself at least three times.[6]
Hill was executed via lethal injection on June 6, 2008, in South Carolina.[7] He was pronounced dead at 6:17 pm.[7]
