Mount Holly man sentenced to 30 years for fatal stabbing behind deli
Mount Holly, NJ – A 33-year-old Mount Holly resident has been sentenced to 30 years in state prison for fatally stabbing a man behind a neighborhood deli in 2021, following a swift jury conviction earlier this summer.
Jimir Wynn was handed the three-decade sentence on Friday by Superior Court Judge Aimee Belgard. Under the ruling, Wynn must serve at least 85 percent of the term before becoming eligible for parole. He was convicted in June of aggravated manslaughter, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a weapon.
The charges stem from the September 7, 2021, killing of Sean Reynolds, 30, of Brick Township. Reynolds’ body was discovered behind Millerie’s Market & Deli at the corner of Rancocas Road and King Street in Mount Holly. An autopsy determined he had been stabbed multiple times.
The case was prosecuted by Burlington County Assistant Prosecutor Rachel M. Conte. Multiple law enforcement agencies contributed to the investigation, including the Mount Holly Township Police Department, Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office, and several surrounding departments.
The jury deliberated for approximately two hours before reaching a guilty verdict.
