Danielle Zimmerman was picking up dinner for her family when she suffered a brain aneurysm. The truck she was driving stopped after crashing into the fast food store’s speaker.

Rather than help, Daquantrius Johnson, Keith Hickles, and Quanique Thomas-Hameen stole Zimmerman’s purse and took the wedding ring off her finger. The wife and mother died in the hospital the next day.

The Wichita Eagle reports all three men were arrested. This week, Johnson was convicted of aggravated burglary, robbery and misdemeanor theft for the December, 2013 incident. Because it wasn't Johnson's first trouble with the law, Judge Christopher Magana sentenced him to 20 1/2 years in prison.

“You have become a predator on others in our society,” Magana began. “The public must be protected from predators, and the community must be safeguarded.”

Zimmerman’s husband Kris addressed Johnson at his sentencing. “I hope you reflect on your crime you committed every day while you’re in prison,” he said. “Dani didn’t deserve this to happen to her. She was a kind and compassionate person.”

Zimmerman’s purse was found but her wedding ring is still missing.
