Burlington County authorities reported that a 29-year-old Mount Holly resident was charged today with fatally stabbing the man whose body was discovered earlier this week behind a Mount Holly convenience store.
According to authorities, police charged Mr. Jimir Wynn with Murder (First Degree), Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose (Third Degree), Unlawful Possession of a Weapon (Fourth Degree) and Certain Persons Not to Possess Weapons (Fourth Degree).
Police said the investigation began the afternoon of September 7, when Mount Holly police officers were dispatched to Millerie’s Market & Deli at the corner of Rancocas Road and King Street to report that an adult male’s body had been found behind the store.
According to Burlington County officials, an autopsy performed by Burlington County Medical Examiner Dr. Ian Hood determined the victim, Sean Reynolds, 31, 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.
The motive for the slaying is still being investigated by the Prosecutor’s Office and the Mount Holly Township Police Department.
Police said Wynn, who was lodged in the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly, will have a first appearance tomorrow in Superior Court.
The case will be prepared for presentation to a grand jury for possible indictment.
