CLEVELAND (WJW) – A man found guilty of killing four people in a Cleveland home is set to be sentenced Monday.

Terrell Silver, 35, was convicted earlier this month in the murders that took place in 2019.

Silver was found guilty of seven counts of aggravated murder, four counts of murder, five counts of felonious assault, one count of attempted murder and one count of attempted burglary.

Prosecutors said Silver was in a home with the four victims near East 144^th St. and Kinsman Rd. in Cleveland sometime between Sept. 7, 2019, and Sept. 21, 2019.

The decomposing bodies of the victims were discovered by officers with the Cleveland Division of Police on Sept. 21, 2019.

The victims were identified as 20-year-old Dejuan Damar Willis, 19-year-old Aiyanna Quitman, 23-year-old Christopher Monroe and 18-year-old Jazmyne Lawson.

Aiyanna’s mother, Tammy Quitman, was one of several people who gave a victim impact statement ahead of the sentencing.

“This has been the most difficult 5 years of my life,” Tammy Quitman said.

“I will never be the same,” she said about the loss.

“I will never have the honor of taking my daughter to a bridal shop for a wedding a dress,” Quitman told the court.

“You have destroyed four families and five lives – and for what?” she said in an emotional statement.
