He married Angela Drake, who he had begun dating in high school, on New Year’s Day in 1991, and their son, Ashton, was born in 1993.

During the police investigation, it was revealed that Dozier went on a spending spree after he had allegedly stolen Miller's $12,000, telling his friends that he'd won the cash at a casino.

Subsequently, he was also connected to the July 27, 2001, murder of Jasen "Griffin" Greene, whose decomposed remains were found in the desert north of Phoenix.

He was convicted of the murder in September 2007; he received a death sentence on October 3, 2007, which was upheld by the Nevada Supreme Court on January 23, 2012.

The psychologists who assessed Dozier during his convictions concluded that he had traits of antisocial personality disorder and displayed narcissistic tendencies such as arrogance, superficial charm, manipulativeness, and a grandiose sense of self-worth.

[10] On October 31, 2016, Dozier voluntarily waived his appeals and wrote a letter to District Judge Jennifer Togliatti asking her to expedite his execution.

In a hearing on July 27, 2017, Judge Togliatti signed Dozier's death warrant, permitting his execution to take place[12] "in the week of October 16, 2017".

On November 9, 2017, Judge Togliatti stayed Dozier's execution at the request of his lawyers so the state's proposed lethal injection plan could be appealed.

[14] On June 19, 2018, Judge Togliatti signed a new death warrant for Dozier, permitting his execution to take place in the week beginning Monday, July 9, 2018.

[20] Lawyers for Alvogen claim the manufacturer will "suffer irreparable harm to its reputation as a company that produces life-enhancing and life-saving drugs if Defendants [i.e. the state of Nevada] are allowed to misuse its product midazolam".

[22] State prison officials responded to Alvogen's successful stay of the execution and filed a motion requesting to vacate the order on August 7, 2018.
