Known as Gavin 'Capable' Preston, he was released from jail after serving 11 years for the 2012 shooting of drug dealer Adam Khoury. He was capable of anything, and had that tatooed on his neck. In jail, he was the victim of a stabbing that nearly killed him. Preston was hit with 10 bullets and died where he fell.

“They’ll be holding the wake in a phone box,” one gangster said.

The gangster's list of enemies was extensive. He was suspected of plots to kill former Bandidos enforcer Toby Mitchell and underworld figure Mick Gatto. Preston was among the most feared and despised members of Melbourne's underworld.
