An Ohio woman who dragged a DoorDash driver to his death following a fender bender in a grocery store parking lot was sentenced last week to up to 5½ years in prison.

Danielle Henry was handed the sentence after pleading guilty last month to aggravated vehicular homicide in the death of 38-year-old Ibrahim Diakite, WBNS-TV reported.

Henry had just shoplifted and was driving a stolen car when she collided with Diakite in October 2025 at a Kroger parking lot in Westerville.

The incident escalated, authorities said, when Henry fled in her vehicle.

Diakite followed and pulled up in front of her at a stoplight. He got out and stopped in front of Henry’s vehicle in an effort to prevent her from leaving. He then climbed onto the hood of the car.

Henry drove off and sped up to 45 mph before jerking the car. Diakite was pulled under the vehicle and dragged for about 300 to 600 feet before he was run over, authorities said.

Diakite was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

At the time of the road rage incident, Henry had several active warrants, for charges of theft, receiving stolen property and failure to comply with police.

“She was obviously willing to do whatever she could to keep from being caught by the police and showed herself to be a danger to the community,” Westerville Police Chief Holly Murchland told the news outlet.
