A Match Made in Hell : Shayna Hubers and Ryan Poston

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Ryan Poston with me today.
In October 2012, 21‑year‑old grad student Shayna Hubers called 911 from her boyfriend Ryan Poston’s condo in Highland Heights, Kentucky, calmly telling dispatchers she had shot the 29‑year‑old lawyer in self‑defense after he supposedly became violent. When police arrived, they found Ryan slumped dead at his dining table, shot six times, once in the back, twice in the head, and three times in the chest, an execution‑style pattern that immediately clashed with Shayna’s story of a chaotic struggle.

Down at the station, her behavior raised even more alarms: in a videotaped interview, she laughed, sang, did high‑kicks, and joked that she had “given him the nose job he always wanted” by shooting him in the face. Prosecutors later argued that Shayna was obsessed with Ryan, terrified he was about to leave her and go on a date with another woman, and that she shot him in cold blood rather than lose control of the relationship, pointing to numerous texts, prior breakups, and her own words in the interrogation room.

Shayna and her lawyers claimed Ryan was emotionally and physically abusive and that she fired in self‑defense, but two different juries didn’t believe her. Her first 2015 murder conviction was overturned when it emerged that a juror was a convicted felon, yet at her 2018 retrial she was again found guilty of murder and this time received a life sentence with the possibility of parole after 20 years, meaning she will spend at least two decades behind bars for killing Ryan Poston.
