A father was sentenced to up to 66 years in prison for the death of his 3-year-old daughter today.

Police say the little girl, Bella Rae Seachrist, was badly bruised and malnourished and suffered from prolonged physical and mental abuse.

She was found unresponsive at their home on 10th Street in Oakmont in June of 2020.

Jose Eduardo Salazar-Ortiz was found guilty of third-degree murder.

The girl's stepmother, Laura Ramriez, was convicted of first-degree murder last month.

Her sister Alexis Herrera was also charged.
