Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw announced that a 33-year-old Mount Holly resident has been convicted of fatally stabbing a man behind a Mount Holly convenience store in September 2021.
A Superior Court jury deliberated for approximately two hours before delivering guilty verdicts on June 19 against Jimir Wynn on charges of Aggravated Manslaughter (First Degree), Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose (Third Degree) and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon (Fourth Degree). A sentencing date will be scheduled soon.
The investigation began the afternoon of September 7, 2021, when officers from the Mount Holly Township Police Department were dispatched to Millerie’s Market & Deli at the corner of Rancocas Road and King Street after a caller said an adult male’s body had been found behind the store.
The death was ruled a homicide after an autopsy performed by Burlington County Medical Examiner Dr. Ian Hood determined the victim, Sean Reynolds, 30, of Brick Township, had been stabbed multiple times.
The investigation revealed that Reynolds had been killed the night of September 6. The investigation further revealed that Reynolds was with Wynn near Wynn’s home earlier that evening.
Wynn was prosecuted by Assistant Prosecutor Rachel M. Conte. The case was investigated by the Prosecutor’s Office and the Mount Holly Township Police Department, with assistance from the Westampton Police Department, Pemberton Township Police Department, and Burlington County Sheriff’s Office.
The lead investigators were BCPO Detective Sergeant Brian Cunningham, BCPO Detective Melyssa Alonso and MHTPD Detective Sergeant Nicholas Dell-Priscoli.
