Prosecutors said Heard was sentenced Wednesday with malice murder, armed robbery, home invasion, and aggravated battery. Heard was sentenced to life without parole.

Mina Ellery previously pled guilty and has already been transferred to serve her sentence, officials said.

"I am pleased with the outcome of the sentences related to these case investigations and that the victim's family was satisfied in justice being served.
