A teen boy named Isiah Lynch has admitted to shooting a 14-year-old girl dead after falsely believing that she was pregnant with his child.<\/p>\n
According to Canton Rep, he pleaded true \u2014 the juvenile equivalent of guilty \u2014Wednesday to a murder charge for the March fatal shooting of the 14-year-old identified as Sylvia McGee.<\/p>\n
Sylvia McGee was shot in the head with a .38-calibre pistol not far from her home in Canton, Ohio, in March.<\/p>\n
\n\u2018That is what I believe got this whole thing started,\u2019\u00a0Stark County Assistant Prosecutor Michelle Cordova said last Wednesday\u00a0according to the\u00a0Canton Rep.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u2018There was no evidence of any other reason for this.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Cordova added that an autopsy had found that McGee was not pregnant.<\/p>\n
McGee\u2019s great aunt, Carlina Hanley, told the Canton paper: \u2018[He] should have just admitted it from the beginning. She didn\u2019t deserve that \u2026 She wasn\u2019t that type of a kid. She was upbeat and funny. I just can\u2019t believe that he did that.\u2019<\/p>\n
Her grandmother, Sylvia Milina, told\u00a0ABC\u00a0at the time of Sylvia\u2019s death: \u2018She didn\u2019t even have a chance \u2026\u00a0It was like it was a set up to me because she\u2019s never been out at that time.\u2019<\/p>\n
The boy accepted a plea deal to bring an aggravated murder charge down to murder and will remain in a youth detention facility until he is 21-years-old and then undergoes a psychological evaluation.<\/p>\n
Beyond that, the boy could then be sent to an adult prison for 18 years to life, the Stark County prosecutor said.<\/p>\n
Lynch\u2019s sentencing is set to hold in January.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
