CLEVELAND, Ohio — A man is accused of fatally shooting a woman and leaving her lying in the middle of the street.

Demetris Bolden, 27, of East Cleveland, is charged with aggravated murder in Cleveland Municipal Court.

Bolden fatally shot Tiffany Smith, 27, in the torso, court records say. Police about 4:15 a.m. Friday found her lying on East 126th Street and Corlett Avenue.

Bolden and Smith knew each other, court records say. Bolden took Smith's car and was spotted driving near the intersection where Smith was found, according to court records.

Bolden fled from police and bailed out of his car on East 126th and Soika Avenue, court records say.

Cleveland detectives eventually found Bolden about 11 a.m. Friday hiding inside a basement in the 3000 block of East 128th Street, according to court records.

Bolden, according to court records, spent a year in prison for a Nov. 28, 2011 robbery in Cleveland. He was also convicted in 2010 of attempted carrying of a concealed weapon in East Cleveland.

He was sentenced to one year on probation and Bolden had to forfeit the gun to authorities.
