TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - The teen found guilty in the murder of 15-year-old DeAsia Green was sentenced to life in prison Friday.
16-year-old Joshua Coleman made no comment in court. He will be eligible for parole in 2039.
On Jan. 9 2023, TPD reported finding Green dead in an alley in the 1300 block of Page.
TPD said Green was a “habitual runaway. " Investigators told 13abc the teen’s parents reported her missing earlier in the month after they realized there was something different about the teen being missing this time. Her parents gave a TPD search team information they had received, which led detectives to the area where Green’s body was found.
Investigators confirmed the teen is the daughter of an unsolved homicide victim from 2010, DeAndre Green. 13abc highlighted his case just last year for Case Files. TPD said there was no connection between DeAsia’s death and DeAndre’s death.
