| Boilerpipe Text | CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Less than a month before he was set to stand trial, a man pleaded guilty to killing his girlfriend and throwing her son in the Ohio River in 2020.
Desean Brown appeared in court Wednesday as he pleaded guilty to the December 2020 deaths of 29-year-old Nyteisha Lattimore and her son, 3-year-old Nylo Lattimore.
Judge Leah Dinkelacker
sentenced him to life in prison for two counts of aggravated murder.
The family says some of the fake accounts have been taken down.

Brownâs attorney, Scott Rubenstein, said avoiding the death penalty was their goal.
He described Wednesdayâs outcome as âa fair resolution.â
It was just a few days ago that Brown was found competent to stand trial by
Judge Dinkelacker
and two psychologists.
The jury trial was scheduled to begin Oct. 6, 2025.
Brown could have faced the death penalty if he had been convicted, but the possibility was dropped as part of his plea deal.
