  • Introduction

    Murder victim. Notable for being Jeffrey Dahmer's first victim, as well as his only victim outside of the Milwaukee area. Born to Richard Hicks, a quality control analyst, and Martha Hicks, a homemaker, he graduated from Coventry High School just outside of Akron, Ohio in 1978. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, he was required to walk 24 miles to a concert he was anticipating featuring the Michael Stanley Band. In the Montrose area of suburban Akron, he was approached by a man who asked if he needed a ride to the concert in a van. The man, Jeffrey Dahmer, took him back to his grandmother's house in suburban Bath Township and had a beer with Hicks. He quickly lost interest when Hicks started talking about girls, and decided that he was going to kill him. While how Steven Hicks was killed will not be detailed on this site due to its graphic nature, he was reported as missing by his parents and was not found until July 1991 when Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested for his other crimes in Wisconsin. Steven Hicks was a fan of aviation; during the summer of 1977, he went to Florida to learn to be a pilot. A scholarship funding the education of aspiring trade school students financed by the Hicks family currently exists in Steven's name at Coventry High School.
