LA PLATA, MD—On Tuesday, Charles County Circuit Court Judge William R. Greer, Jr. delivered a life sentence without the possibility of parole to 35-year-old Deanthony Lamont Warrick. The Indian Head resident was found guilty in the brutal murder of Jasmine Lakesha Hicks, along with related charges.
Warrick was convicted on June 6 by a Charles County jury, and the sentence reflects the severity of the crime. Tony Covington, State’s Attorney for Charles County, expressed his satisfaction with the court’s decision, highlighting the premeditation and brutality of the crime that led to the pursuit of the maximum penalty under Maryland law.
The incident, which took place on April 12, 2023, began with a verbal altercation outside Warrick’s residence in Bryans Road, escalating to a violent attack where Ms. Hicks suffered multiple stab wounds. The attack was partially recorded on a nearby surveillance camera, capturing chilling evidence of the crime.
Additional sentences were handed down for related charges, including three years for carrying a dangerous weapon with intent to injure, one year for possession of a controlled dangerous substance, and 15 years each for possession of regulated firearms following a previous conviction of a violent crime.
The court’s decision underlines the commitment of the judicial system to hold individuals accountable for such heinous acts, with the hope of delivering justice for the victim and her family.

Macomb County Man Strikes Fantasy 5 Jackpot for Nearly $800,000A Macomb County resident experienced a dramatic turn of fortune when he won a $795,905 jackpot in the Michigan Lottery's Fantasy 5 game, just one night after narrowly missing the jackpot by a single number.
The 53-year-old winner, who has opted to remain anonymous, successfully matched the numbers 02, 05, 17, 21, and 30 in the July 27 drawing. He purchased his lucky ticket online at MichiganLottery.com after realizing he had forgotten to buy one in-store on the night of the draw.
Reflecting on his win, the player said, “I always buy Fantasy 5 tickets if the jackpot is over $250,000. After the drawing, I initially thought I had won just $1 based on an email from the Lottery, but then another notification prompted me to log into my account where I saw $795,905 pending. It felt unreal at first, and I thought it was a scam.”
His victory felt particularly sweet following a close call the previous night, where he had matched four out of five numbers, winning $100 and lamenting his near miss. “I was so close!” he recounted. “I was excited to win $100 but bummed that I was one number off a large jackpot prize. I never could have imagined then that the next night I would actually win the jackpot!”
Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli highlighted the benefits of the online platform, stating, “Our online games provide a convenient way for players to participate, especially when they cannot visit their favorite retailer. Our platform also offers robust responsible gaming tools to ensure that the gambling remains fun and entertaining.”
The lucky winner has already visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize, with plans to invest his winnings.
