A Burlington County jury has found a Mount Holly man guilty in connection with the fatal stabbing of a man whose body was discovered behind a convenience store nearly three years ago.
Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw announced that Jimir Wynn, 33, was convicted on June 19 of aggravated manslaughter, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a weapon.
The jury reached its verdict after approximately two hours of deliberation. A sentencing date is pending.
The charges stem from the September 2021 death of 30-year-old Sean Reynolds, of Brick Township.
According to authorities, Mount Holly police responded to a call on the afternoon of September 7, 2021, reporting an unresponsive man behind Millerie’s Market & Deli near the intersection of Rancocas Road and King Street.
An autopsy conducted by Burlington County Medical Examiner Dr. Ian Hood determined Reynolds had been stabbed multiple times and ruled the death a homicide.
Investigators later learned Reynolds had been with Wynn near Wynn’s residence the night before the body was found.
The case was prosecuted by Burlington County Assistant Prosecutor Joseph Remy.
