AKRON, Ohio — A 26-year-old woman was sentenced Monday afternoon after pleading guilty to charges in connection with the death of Paige Calich in Akron last year.
The defendant, Corvette Pope, pleaded guilty in May 2024 to charges of involuntary manslaughter and obstruction of justice.
Watch the sentencing:
Judge Christine Croce sentenced Pope to 5 to 7.5 years in prison.
During sentencing, Pope apologized to the court for her actions.
Calich was killed last summer. When Akron police officers arrived at her home on Socrates Place on July 28, they found her down near a doorway. She had been shot multiple times. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she later died.
Shortly after Calich was killed, Pope was taken into custody.

Last week, Pope's brother, Denzel, was found guilty of two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault and one count of having weapons under disability for his role in Calich's death.
