Two people were sentenced in connection with the murder of a Gloucester Township man at Autumn Ridge Apartments in 2013, Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk announced on Friday.

Jevon Coleman Robinson, 17, of Edgewater Park, was sentenced to 23 years in state prison on a count of aggravated manslaughter, and must serve 85 percent of that sentence before he is eligible for parole.

He also was sentenced to a concurrent term of 10 years incarceration on a count of aggravated assault.

Isaac Mimes, 18, of Willingboro, was sentenced to 12 years on a count of armed robbery. He must serve 85 percent of that term before he is eligible for parole.

Both juveniles pleaded guilty as adults to their roles in the murder in March, when they admitted that they intended to obatin marijuana from Lamar Ortiz, a 20-year-old resident of the Autumn Ridge Apartments in Gloucester Township, on July 15, 2013. They said they had no intentions of paying for it.

They admitted to contacting a friend who knew Ortiz and drove with him and a fourth man to Ortiz’s apartment. The fourth man was Joshua Texiador, 20, of Westampton.

When they arrived, Ortiz came to the vehicle’s passenger window and talked with the group. They asked him to show them the marijuana they wanted to buy and he refused.

When they insisted he walked away from the car. Coleman Robinson then drew his gun and pointed it at Ortiz.

Texiador attempted to grab the gun, but Coleman Robinson fought him off by repeatedly hitting him in the head. He then shot and killed Ortiz.

Texiador pleaded guilty on Friday to aggravated manslaughter and aggravated assault. He is expected to be sentenced to 20 years for the manslaughter charge and five years for the assault charge. He will likely be sentenced in August.
