YOUNGSTOWN — Nearly two years ago, Lynn McElroy walked into her son’s Inverness Avenue home to find the 22-year-old dead of a single gunshot wound to the head.

McElroy was in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court today asking Judge Lou A. D’Apolito to impose a maximum sentence on the man responsible for killing her son, Quest Waggoner.

That request for a maximum sentence was fulfilled.

The judge sentenced Donovan Miller, 27, of Cambridge Avenue, to 30 years to life on the murder charge, three years on a tampering-with-evidence charge, and a three-year gun charge. The charges will be served consecutively.

A jury convicted Miller late last year one the charges.
