Gavin Roberts, Ohio inmate A804386, born 2005, incarceration intake November 2023 at age 18, scheduled for release November 2047
Murder, Robbery
In November 2023, nearly a year after the shooting death of Brice Hilton, family and loved ones wore pink shirts bearing the Pennsylvania man’s smiling face to court to learn the fate of his murderer.
From the courtroom gallery, they watched as Gavin Roberts was sentenced to serve between 42 and 47 1/2 years to life in prison for Hilton’s Nov. 19, 2022, murder.
On that day, Hilton, 37, and his then-pregnant fiancee, Blair Legg, had driven to Ohio to purchase a cellphone from Roberts for Hilton’s son’s birthday.
Instead, Roberts, armed with a .38 Special revolver and a potato inside an iPhone box, shot Hilton multiple times before robbing his lifeless body of $220.
Before sentencing was handed down by Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Cynthia W. Rice, Legg and Hilton’s mother, LaSonia Moorer-Henry gave victim impact statements.
Roberts looked at the floor throughout both speeches, standing just feet from them.
Roberts was convicted of murder after a Trumbull County jury deliberated only two hours following a one-and-a-half-day trial, finding Roberts guilty of aggravated murder and aggravated robbery, both with firearms specifications.
He was found not guilty of an additional murder count that carried a precalculated and design factor, and not guilty of aggravated burglary.
Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Becker said because Roberts was only 17 at the time of his crime, he would be eligible for parole after serving 25 years because of Ohio legislation set in 2021 that restricts sentencing for teen offenders.
“I think it’s very unfair. This is a classic type of case of why Senate Bill 256 should be reversed by the legislature, and they should take that off the books because it’s the classic case of someone who deserves more than getting a parole hearing at 25 years,” Becker said.
Happy birthday Gavin!
Happy birthday to you, my Senpai, my hero…
A hero's job is never easy,
but the best kind of hero is a humble one
who is just doing their duty
and isn't doing it just to take credit for it.
Thank you for being so fearless in the face of danger,
but you're still human underneath those amber eyes
that have to be fierce and battle-ready at times.
You're just a guy that wants to enjoy a simpler life
spending time with the one you love
and eating homecooked meals
when you're not working so hard on undercover missions.
I never knew those amber eyes and your smile could be that sweet.
You make my heart melt with just calm reassurances
and I would feel safe with you even in the middle of a storm
or when I'm hanging onto your back
while riding on the back of your motorcycle.
You make my heart race too
just like the breeze rustles the ginkgo leaves up into the air,
stirring all of my emotions up onto the surface,
making everything as transparent
as my reflection in your honey-like amber eyes.
You make me feel warm and loved
under your gaze
and through your actions time after time.
You're so reliable and you inspire me to be stronger too.
You do so much to protect others
and all I want is to protect you and your happiness.
Thank you Gavin as always
for being someone I can count on to give me strength.
I hope you have the happiest of birthdays,
STF Commander.
I hope you smile more.
You're the one
that helps make my dreams and miracles come true.
It's a blessing to have you in my life
and let's make even more precious,
treasured birthday memories together year after year.
Holy shit. This year had to have been the most eventful year of my life and that's saying something.
Beginning of last year, Gavin and I were struggling to do whatever we could to find an apartment. Well, come February, we did. We finally were able to cross the biggest gap in our lives and relationship. I packed my stuff and suddenly, I was with him and living in Texas. My 28th birthday came and I got to spend it with friends. I haven't spent a birthday with a friend in so long. It felt wonderful to have people that wanted to be around me.
April came around and another one of my biggest dreams came true. I finally got my first puppy. Bliz has been a name for a dog I wanted for years and now he's my precious baby. I love my dog so much. He might be a little special needs as I've come to discover, but he's perfect and I know that fate brought my Bliz and I together. AND along with April, I got my beautiful, gorgeous, handsome, cunty, stunning, sweet, passionate, loving new pookie Niran. He literally brought me back to Overewatch single handedly and I love him. Fell for that man harder than any other fictional man ever. I want him carnally fr.
May was lovely and just as exciting. Not only did we once again have a wonderful time with friends for Gavin's birthday, but we got a new baby as well. Toast and Bliz actually got along and she was our kitten. Sly little thing she is, but I can't imagine life without her. Never was a cat person but I suppose she really changed me. I love my fatass little cat.
June was, hard. While being so excited to see Mexico for the first time ever in the following month, my dad ended up in the hospital. Just after Father's day. Quite possibly the scariest thing my family has ever had to go through. Weeks of nothing but worry and stress. He pulled through, but he will never be how he used to be. He's mostly in a wheelchair and can no longer walk on his own. I miss my father. I miss him so much. I took for granted all the times we went to the grocery store and taking him to the bank. I know everyone says it, but do not take time for granted. It really can be gone in an instant. I am happy to say my dad is okay. Him making it to his 81st birthday and to the New Year, means everything. I want nothing but comfort for him this upcoming year, and for my mom and sister to take it easy too. We all love him.
July, was wonderful. I got to go to Mexico with Gavin's family. They showed me nothing but kindness and caring the whole time. Mexico was beautiful and I want to go back. I have to get my passport updated but hey I will. After Mexico, it was back home to NJ. Being back home felt so right and I wish Gavin and I could move over there, but it's not in the cards right now. But! I enjoyed a great time seeing my dad and going to the Jersey Shore. Time with my mom, sister, and dad pretty much recharged me. Stayed about two weeks longer than intended but I know in the long run I needed that.
August. God. August. It started out great. We were back home and Gavin was ready for his appointment to start T. Both of us were so happy that he could finally start his journey. We went, he got it, life felt so good. However, it seemed like Gavin and I couldn't catch a break and life decided, "yeah, throw them in a car accident." Gavin's car was towed and we were in horrible pain. My stomach was so bruised I couldn't bend down and Gavin could barely use his hands. A whole week of stress and anxiety over what to do now that we didn't have a car. Thankfully his parents were once again, so kind, caring, and understanding that we were able to get a new car. His name is Ramram and he's kept us safe which is all we could ask for.
September wasn't so bad other than learning two of our friends, weren't the people we thought they were. October was pretty okay which was nice. Throughout these months it was mostly financial stress which we still have but the hell am I supposed to do about it at this point.
November. I usually hate November. Halloween is gone and done and I don't really care too much about Thanksgiving. But I suppose Gavin changed that. After weeks of severe depression and anxiety, crying every day, it all stopped. He proposed. He had gotten me the most beautiful ring. Goth and elegant. With one question, everything melted away and I haven't cried a sorrow tear since.
Now that it's December, I realize just how many things happened and how things still are happening. My family and family's friends accept my engagement and are excited for me. They are happy. I'm planning a wedding. I made it far enough in life that I am getting married. I'm getting married next October. I'm still tearing up as I write this because 19 year old Lauren didn't think she'd make it to 20, let alone 27. I'm getting married. It's incredible. Other than being in a dream like state from that, of course I had to get a whole ass addiction to Baulder's Gate 3. Perhaps it's not the traditional dnd experience but I can't say I don't love it. I now get to have some fictional men be here without me needing them. I get to have Astarion and Halsin and Gale at my happiest. That's, so different than all of the ones before them, Niran included. It almost doesn't feel real.
2023 was something else. 2024 is going to be wonderful. I am soon going back to NJ to plan where to have our wedding. Gavin and I will have our first anniversary and Valentine's day together too! I get to go back to NJ a few more times for wedding plans and vacation and then the wedding. My biggest hope for 2024, is that Gavin and I can start a process to start my dream.
I want to be a mother. I wanted to be a mother since as long as I can remember. If I can just start this journey into being a mother, everything up until that point will have been worth it. Every moment of stress, pain, tears, and more. I hope sometime next year I can make a post saying we've succeeded. I know the process won't be easy, but it will be worth it.
Happy New Year everyone. I made it through this year. I can make it through next year, and you can too.

Neil McLucas to join Sportsman Hotel's Drag Hall of Fame
New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/neil-mclucas-to-join-sportsman-hotels-drag-hall-of-fame/
Neil McLucas to join Sportsman Hotel's Drag Hall of Fame
The Sportsman Hotel team will host a special ceremony honouring the Brisbane gay bar’s “irreplaceable” owner Neil McLucas as Sporties adds him to the Drag Hall of Fame next month.
Each year, Sporties honours local personalities for their contributions to Queensland’s drag scene and LGBTQIA+ community. The Drag Hall of Fame is located in the Lounge Bar of the venue, proudly Brisbane’s home of drag.
On February 10, the team will induct two more living legends into the Hall of Fame – Neil McLucas and legendary showgirl Kelly Roberts.
Neil, 89, is a Brisbane icon and the proud owner and manager of some of the city’s earliest gay bars, hosting decades of drag queens.
In 2019, he celebrated the Sportsman’s 30th birthday. He described the pub as “a special place we could go to and say that we’re home.”
“We were beaten into the ground by Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen and the attitudes of the time,” Neil said of the pub’s early days.
“We couldn’t do a lot of things. I wanted to make certain we had a place we could go. Any day and night of the week, we could feel at home.
“People ostracised from birth families could find their own family at Sporties and know they were safe and valued inside our walls.”
Drag Hall of Famer Miss Synthetique will host the 2024 induction ceremony on February 10 from 10pm. Miss Sporties 2023 Maxi-Bon will also perform.
Previous inductees into the Sportsman Hotel’s Drag Hall of Fame include Dame Sybil Von Thorndyke, Dame Liz Taylor, Miss Synthetique, Wanda D’Parke, Betty Nature, Trixie Onassis, Yana Michelle, producer Gavin Anthony, Candy Surprise, Malika, Ella Va’lay, Tara Ra Boom Deay, Sue Wridge, Hazel La Belle, Iona Toyboy, Sasha Trajik-Mole, Toye de Wilde, Lucy Lockjaw and Tamara Tonite.
