Indictments announced in deaths of WSFS executive and UD student

Four men have been charged in connection with the 2022 shooting death of Carrie Mondell, adding the cold case to a gang indictment which previously included the murders of Latahesia Hill, Khalil Ameer-Bey, and Kwamir Wise. On Monday  Neiamjha Rollins, 18, of Wilmington, Nyair Small, 25, of Wilmington, Philip Harris, 25, of Smyrna, and Daeshawn Shields, 24, of Wilmington were indicted for multiple charges following a years-long investigation into the death of Mondell, a WSFS senior  vice president who died after being struck during gang crosfire  as she left work on August 16, 2022. 

Mondell’s murder, charged under a re-ndictment against Wilmington-area gang Exit 4 (a.k.a. “The Mag” and “Magboyz”) remained a cold case for nearly three years. 

“Carrie Mondell’s family has experienced unimaginable shock, grief, and loss – not just on August 16, 2022, but on every day that has followed it,” said Attorney General Kathy Jennings. “This indictment represents a step towards granting them the justice that they deserve. I am profoundly grateful to our team and to the officers of Wilmington PD, who worked tirelessly to crack this case and to hold these defendants accountable for Carrie, Latahesia, Khalil and Kwamir’s murders.” 

 The re-indictment is a follow up to the initial Exit 4 indictment in December of 2024 and the wns  of a years- long investigation involving the state Department of Justice, Wilmington Police Department, and New Castle County Police Department, with support from the Delaware State Police and the Delaware Department of Correction. Between January 2020 and December 2024, members of Exit 4 are alleged to have committed crimes including the murder of at least four victims – Mondell, Hill, Ameer-Bey, and Wise – and the attempted murder of several others, as well as multiple robberies and gun cases. 

Also announced was a separate indictment for Gordon Turner, 22, of New Castle, following his involvement in a crash that killed one bystander and wounded others in April. Turner was charged with Murder First Degree, Murder Second Degree, two counts of Assault First Degree, seven counts of Assault Third Degree, ten counts Reckless Endangering First Degree, two counts of Possession of a Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony, Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Possession of a Firearm by a Person Prohibited, Possession of Marijuana, and one count of Disregarding a Police Officer Signal.  

On April 29, Gordon Turner was parked on Main Street in Newark when he attempted to flee police in a stolen vehicle. As he fled, he struck and killed University of Delaware graduate  student Marina Vasconcelos and critically injured UD student Audrey Collins. Several other students and a police officer also suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
