A Maryland man will spend the rest of his life in prison for stabbing a mother of three 20 times after an argument over stolen items, leaving her to bleed to death in a front yard for a neighbor to find.

Deanthony Lamont Warrick, 35, was sentenced on Tuesday to life in prison without parole in the death of Jasmine Lakesha Hicks, 29, the State’s Attorney for Charles County announced in a news release. He was convicted in June of first-degree murder.

Tony Covington, State’s Attorney for Charles County, applauded the outcome.

“The decision to seek a LWOP sentence — the most serious penalty in the State of Maryland — is mine and not made lightly,” he said. “I am gratified that the Court, having heard all the evidence at trial and all the testimony and arguments during sentencing, saw this case the way I did and imposed LWOP. The vicious and callous way he committed this crime, in my mind, says he should never walk free in our community again. He purposefully and permanently erased Jasmine Hicks from this planet — forever. Justice requires he be held accountable. The jury held him accountable with their verdict and the Judge imposed the proper and just sentence we requested.”
