Murder, Lewdness Charges Emerge In Burlington Co. Shoplifting Incident: Police

MOUNT LAUREL, NJ — A Tuesday afternoon shoplifting bust yielded four suspects — some of whom were wanted on other charges, including murder — according to the Mount Laurel Police Department.

Law enforcement responded to DICK's Sporting Goods on Nixon Drive just before 2 p.m. They found four people leaving the store with merchandise, police said.

The following people, including two fugitives, comprised the group, police said:

• Michael Guy Fisher, 25, of Baltimore: wanted in Baltimore for murder.
• Devynn Mahoney, 24, of Pottstown, Pennsylvania: wanted in Florida for lewdness with a minor.
• Malcolm Keith Lattimore, 30, of Newport, Florida
• Neal Durham, 23, of Warminster, Pennsylvania.

When police from Mount Laurel and Moorestown got to the store, the group began to enter a Mazda SUV with a Florida registration, authorities said. But as officers approached, they fled on foot to the nearby Chick-fil-A, according to police.

Officers say they saw a handgun inside the vehicle.

Police detained the four individuals without incident and seized the vehicle, Mount Laurel PD said. After Fisher provided false information, officers discovered he was wanted out of Baltimore for murder, according to authorities.

Detectives executed a search warrant on the vehicle and recovered a 9mm handgun, police said. Law enforcement claims they also found three printed devices used to convert semi-automatic handguns into fully automatic weapons.

Fisher and Mahoney were charged with being fugitives of justice. Fisher was also charged with unlawful possession of a handgun, while Mahoney, Lattimore and Durham were charged with unlawful possession of a weapon.

Additional charges are pending, police said. The ongoing investigation includes Mount Laurel police, the Baltimore City Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations and the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.
