SOUTH BEND, Ind. –  A 17-year-old northern Indiana boy has been sentenced for killing a school mate.

to 65 years in prison in the fatal stabbing of a schoolmate who was pregnant with his child.

Aaron Trejo was sentenced on Tuesday to 55 years for murder and 10 years for feticide.  Those sentences will run consecutively, with no time suspended.

Trejo was charged as an adult and pleaded guilty in October to murder and feticide in Breana Rouhselang’s 2018 killing.

Prosecutors said Trejo told officers he killed Rouhselang because he was angry that she waited so long to tell him she was six months pregnant with his child and that it was too late to get an abortion.

Her body was discovered in a dumpster behind a restaurant near her home.  A trash bag had been placed over her head and upper torso, according to court documents.

Trejo and Rouhselang were Mishawaka High School classmates.
