CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – A 17-year-old boy convicted of killing a 15-year-old Cleveland girl in 2022 was sentenced by Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Cassandra Collier-Williams Thursday to 10 years in prison.

Steven Fisher pleaded guilty in April to the murder of Jaiden Rose Rentas.

Fisher pleaded guilty to reckless homicide, grand theft, gross abuse of a corpse, and possession of stolen property.

Rentas’s body was found inside a vehicle in the city’s Brooklyn Centre neighborhood in Oct. 28, 2022.

Cleveland police said they were called to a field in the 3700 block of W. 22nd Street around 2:30 p.m. for a suspicious vehicle.

When officers arrived, they said they found the vehicle running with the windshield wipers on. Rentas was pronounced dead at the scene of a gunshot wound.

During the sentencing, the court room was packed with friends and family of Rentas. Some holding signs as a memorial to for Rentas, others wearing yellow ribbons on their shirts.

Rentas’s mom, Jasmine Tores in tears describing how this murder has impacted her.

“She will never get married, she will never have children, she never got a chance at life,” says Tores.

Tores expressed that she would never forgive Fisher and that he was the biggest mistake of her daughters life.

“You stole the most beautiful soul from this earth and no earthly justice will ever amend that,” says Tores.

Fisher’s lawyer explaining to a judge that the murder was simply an accident.

“He loved her. He had no motive or interest in ever hurting that girl.”

However, the judge and Rentas’s family did not buy it.

“We believe Steven Fisher’s conduct is the most serious type of the offense of reckless homicide.”

“If it was an accident as he said then why flee and come back and move her and dump her in a field like she was a piece of trash instead of calling 9-1-1,” says Tores.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — St. Theodosius Orthodox Christian Cathedral, located in Tremont just outside downtown Cleveland, reported significant damage after its roof caught fire Tuesday afternoon.

The fire started around 3:30 p.m., and local fire crews responded to put it out to save the temple. Meanwhile, the Cathedral Dean and priest Jan Cizmar, neighbors and clergy began to remove and preserve holy items from the church. 

“As many of you already know our Cathedral was greatly damaged by a fire that started this afternoon. The fire started on the roof for unknown reasons,” Cizmar said in a Facebook post belonging to the church. “I would like to thank the Cleveland fire department and other local fire departments for their help. I also offer my gratitude to the Cleveland police, Tremont West, our neighbors, friends and of course to you, our dear parishioners of our beloved Cathedral.”

The church was constructed between 1911-1912 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States. Organized by immigrant Russians living in Tremont in 1896, the parish served the needs of Orthodox Christians and was considered the “Mother Church” for most of the Orthodox Christian churches in today’s northeast Ohio.

The archbishop Daniel of Chicago and the Midwest arrived at the cathedral Tuesday evening to inspect it. 

On Wednesday, the church was being cleared of debris; including the removal of pews as water continued to drip from the ceiling. The church said a service was held by the archbishop on Wednesday morning to pray for the cathedral and parish.
