Man who stole wedding ring off dying womans finger at Taco Bell sentenced to 11 years
A Wichita man will spend more than 11 years in prison for stealing a wedding ring and other items from a woman who was dying from a brain aneurysm in a Taco Bell drive-through in December 2013.
Sedgwick County District Judge Christopher Magana ordered Daquantrius Johnson to serve the 136-month term consecutive to other sentences he received for crimes committed while on felony probation in a 2013 burglary case. The sentences in those cases totaled 111 months, which means Johnson, 21, will be incarcerated for about 20 1/2 years.
Johnsons attorney, Terry Beall, had asked for leniency from the judge during Mondays hearing, suggesting his client be sentenced to probation again.
But Magana denied the request, telling Johnson: Unfortunately, you have become a predator on others in our society and the public must be protected from predators and the community must be safeguarded.
I have considered your situation and your history, and there is much about that that is regrettable. But its also my job to consider the victim in this case, Danielle Zimmerman, Magana said.
The evidence at jury trial was that you were the one who went to her car and you were the one that robbed her. The evidence at jury trial was that you were the only one seen with and in possession of her wedding ring after this crime. The law does not require that you assist someone in a time of need. But it does prohibit you from attacking someone in their time of need.
Johnson shackled at his wrists and ankles and dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit faced supporters who gathered in the gallery during the bulk of the hearing. He smiled occasionally as Magana imposed the sentence. He did not speak.
A jury in December convicted Johnson of aggravated burglary, robbery and misdemeanor theft for his role in the Dec. 29, 2013, robbery of Danielle Zimmerman, a 43-year-old mother and wife.
Prosecutors say Johnson, while he was with two other men, reached into Zimmermans truck and stole her purse and the ring off of her finger after she suffered a fatal brain aneurysm at the Taco Bell at 3725 E. Harry. She had gone to get dinner for her family when she fell ill in the drive-through lane and her truck hit the restaurants speaker box.
She died in a hospital the following day.
Police arrested Johnson, Keith Hickles and Quanique Thomas-Hameen after receiving a Crime Stoppers tip. Hickles in December pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft and was sentenced to nine months in jail. Thomas-Hameen, who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft and aiding a felon, was ordered to 19 months in prison in October.

Children sledding off of Harry Street found Zimmermans purse on Dec. 30, 2013. Despite pleas and rewards offered for its return, Zimmermans ring remains missing. Johnson has said he was not involved.
Kris Zimmerman, in addressing the court during Mondays hearing, asked the judge to impose the maximum sentence allowed in his wifes robbery, saying Johnson turned a tragic event into a crime of opportunity and needs to be held accountable for his actions.
I hope you reflect on your crime you committed every day while youre in prison. Dani didnt deserve this to happen to her. She was a kind and compassionate person, Kris Zimmerman told Johnson during his comments.
You disrespected Dani, me and my family. You also disrespected your family. When you became a father, you have the responsibility to be a good role model. You set no example of that.
I hope when you are released you become a productive member of our society. I would think you would want your children to admire you, not be ashamed of you.
Such bravery preying on the weak, old, ill and dying members of society. Not so noble there Daquantrius and look what you get in return. Dumb ash....
Daquantrius Johnson.
Amish perhaps?
You do not need to read further than Daquantrius. The story tells itself. But then I am a racist.
“There used to be a nice lady named Acquanetta working in my local Walmart.”
The one that is at the top of “my chart” is the little girl whose mother named her “LA-A.” When the teacher asked her how to pronounce the child’s name, the mom replied: “It’s Ladasha, the dash don’t be silent!”
If it cannot be fixed from within, can it be fixed from without?
The woman you mention is lucky she wasn’t eaten for dessert.
I know a woman who was involved in a head on collision in one of South Dade Countys hoods. The other driver was thrown from his jeep and killed. Rather than help, the locals congregated on the incident, stole all of his possesions and went through the vehicle as he lay in a pool of his own blood.
Hell is going to be full of these type losers..
Seriously, do they make these names up to confuse Whitey?
“If it cannot be fixed from within, can it be fixed from without?”
Unfortunately, we are seeing “the fix from without right here! So for the next 136 months, this cretin will be “cared for by the taxpayers,” ( and who knows, if he decides to he wants to be a girl in the intervening timeframe, the taxpayers may have to pick up that tab too) and when he gets out, we will be lucky if someone does not die by his hand before he’s done with this world.
It is likely this smug SOB will be out in less than half the length of the sentence.
, do they make these names up to confuse Whitey?
nope it an exucse so as to not have to learn....CURSIVE
who should be expected to learn how to WRITE the name Daquantrius
TO MANY LETTUHS
If this was an islamic country... no smil ands missing a hand. Perhaps the human manure better be more reflective about his attitude
Kind of like D’Neese and D’Neffew.
Daquantrius?
Having trouble composing a name for the new addition to the family unit?
Take a handful of Scrabble tiles and toss them out on the floor.
Pick them and line them out in random order.
Stick a suffix on there - something like -rius or -iesha or -ueffa or -itis.
Take a look at it - Maybe it needs an apostrophe or two.
Dress it up until it looks good to you.
Then: Voilà !!
There it is.....
Acquanetta, is she related to Lemonjallow and Oranjallo? (lemon jello and orange jello)
Like the joke about the Black woman with two daughters named Ruby and Pearl. When she gave birth to a third girl, she named her Onyx, short for ONYXpected.
Aquanetta is real. I think most of the others are fictitious.
A clerk at Target this afternoon was named Bellair.
D’Thug was a good boy.
Is the rat a Demoque Rat?
