Medics on scene observed the victim had areas that appeared to be burns on her body and a large black bruise on her left eye. She was taken to a hospital where she was confirmed with no more signs of life.
The Cuyahoga County Coroner's Office also found that she was emaciated, malnourished and had suffered a large stroke due to tearing blood vessels on the brain.
WKYC's investigative team found that Aniya was abused as far back as 2015 in the custody of her mother and her boyfriend. Meanwhile, Aniya's father, Mickhal Garrett, says he fought for her custody prior to her death.
Garrett was the first to address the court Wednesday afternoon.
"In this instance, some justice has been served," he said before thanking the jury for convicting Day and Lewis for the crimes.

Twenty-four-year-old Sierra Day and her boyfriend, 27-year-old Deonte Lewis, were found guilty of multiple charges, including murder and aggravated murder, in Aniya’s death.
