GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - Prosecutors say two juveniles charged in a fatal shooting last year at a southern New Jersey apartment complex have pleaded guilty after their cases were waived to adult court.
Camden County prosecutors say 16-year-old Jevon Coleman Robinson of Edgewater Park pleaded guilty Tuesday to aggravated manslaughter and aggravated assault. He’s expected to get a 23-year prison term when he’s sentenced April 25.
The other defendant, 18-year-old Isaac Mimes of Willingboro, pleaded guilty to armed robbery. He’s expected to get a 12-year sentence.
The charges stem from the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Lamar Ortiz, who was killed last July at the Autumn Ridge Apartments in Gloucester Township. Prosecutors have said the two defendants and another man wanted to rob Ortiz as part of a drug deal.
