Manhunt For Suspect Who Shot, Killed Burlington County Convenience Store Clerk

Authorities are looking for a suspect who they say shot and killed a N.J. convenience store clerk this week outside of his store.

Police received a call at approximately 8:20 p.m. Wednesday reporting that shots were fired in the area of the Quick N Go convenience store on the 100 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Willingboro, authorities said.

Arriving officers found a man in the street suffering from gunshot wounds, according to a release from Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi and Willingboro Township Public Safety Director Gregory Rucker.

The victim was taken to Lourdes Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead approximately one hour later, according to authorities.

The victim was identified as Matthew Mwinsori, 32, of Willingboro.

According to the investigation, the suspect entered the store and shortly afterward the suspect and the victim exited to the parking lot, where it is believed the shooting occurred, according to authorities.

Law enforcement authorities are asking the public to help identify the suspect based on images captured by the store’s video surveillance system. The suspect is believed to be a man who is in his 20s or 30s, stands 5-feet-6 inches to 5-feet-9 inches tall, with a medium to heavy build.

He was wearing a black mask that covered the top half of his face, a light-colored hoodie under a blue/gray sweater or sweatshirt, and red sneakers.

“We are asking the public to take a good look at these photos, and to share them on social media,” Bernardi said. “This person took someone’s life. Somebody out there knows his identity. Please assist us with bringing him to justice.”

The investigation is being conducted by detectives from the Willingboro Township Police Department and the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office.
