## Resource

A 43-year-old man, Zachary Locke, pleaded guilty to robbing an 89-year-old former Kansas City councilwoman, Joanne Collins, in March 2025 — a crime that left her with broken ribs, a shattered shoulder, and hip pain. He admitted to snatching her purse containing $120, her wallet, cards, and phone, then used the cash to buy food. Caught days later at a library, he avoided trial with a plea deal. Collins, a trailblazer as the first Black woman elected to the KC City Council in 1974 and later mayor pro tem, was dragged during the struggle — a painful irony for a public servant. Judge Marty Seaton sentenced Locke to 10 years, with credit for over a year already served. The case, solved via surveillance showing his tattoos, shoes, and bag, underscores the vulnerability of seniors and the lasting impact of crime — even on those who built communities.
