Man Sentenced For Stabbing After Victim's Body Found Behind BurlCo Convenience Store

MOUNT HOLLY, NJ — A Burlington County man was sentenced to 30 years in prison Friday for fatally stabbing a man whose body was found behind a convenience store four years ago.

Jimir Wynn, 33, of Mount Holly, must serve 85 percent of his prison term before becoming parole-eligible.

"We are grateful to the court for imposing this sentence," County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw said in a statement. "This was an extremely violent attack. We extend our deepest sympathy to the family and hope this result will bring them some degree of comfort."

The investigation began in September 2021, when a kid found a man's body behind Millerie's Market & Deli in Mount Holly. The victim — Sean Reynolds, 30, of Brick — had been stabbed multiple times, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.

Wynn stabbed Reynolds the night before, prosecutors said days after the incident. They had both been near Wynn's home earlier that evening.

He was initially charged with murder, which was later changed to first-degree aggravated manslaughter.

In June, a jury found Wynn guilty of manslaughter, third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and fourth-degree unlawful possession of a weapon.
