Sebastian Jagger Dosier, 19, was fatally shot in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, on the afternoon of July 1, 2023. Officers were notified around 12:50 p.m. after a private vehicle rushed a gunshot victim to the hospital; police intercepted the car near Westwood and Kanell Boulevards and found Dosier with a gunshot wound. He was taken to Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Detectives traced the shooting to the 1000 block of Velma Street.

Born in Rockford, Illinois, Dosier was an aspiring musician who enjoyed rapping and songwriting. He left behind a wife and numerous family members who held memorial services later in July. On July 2, 2023, two juveniles — a 16-year-old and a 13-year-old — were brought to the Poplar Bluff Police Department by their parents and taken into custody in connection with the homicide; their names were not released due to their ages and they were being held pending review by the Butler County Juvenile Office and the Butler County Prosecuting Attorney.
