CAMDEN — A member of the Bloods gang man will spend 20 years in prison for the 2008 killing of a man in Winslow Township.
Andre Munday, 21, of the 100 block of Colonial Square Drive in Lindenwold will not be eligible for parole until he has served 85 percent of his sentence, Superior Court Judge Gwendolyn Blue directed on Wednesday.
Munday pleaded guilty in October 2009 to aggravated manslaughter in connection with killing David Dunbar, 33, of Philadelphia on July 20, 2008.
Had the case gone to trial, evidence would have been presented that another man, Kenneth Adams, used his rank with the Bloods street gang to convince Munday, a lower ranking Bloods member, to shoot Dunbar, according to a spokesman for Camden County Prosecutor Warren Faulk.
Dunbar had been dating Adams’ ex-girlfriend, a Winslow woman, and that relationship had increasingly infuriated Adams, the spokesman said. During trial, evidence would have been presented that demonstrated Adams had threatened to beat or kill Dunbar. July 19 and 20 saw several confrontations between Adams and his ex-girlfriend and Dunbar. A disagreement between them on the 20th ended with Dunbar and the woman leaving the woman’s Winslow apartment in order to defuse the situation.
After they left, Adams, who was supposed to be caring for their two children, ages six and four, that weekend, called his ex-girlfriend on her cell phone and asked her to return to her apartment, saying the children wanted to kiss her good-bye before they stayed with him. She and Dunbar returned to Hopewell Lane.
Munday then approached the defendant from behind his vehicle about 11:48 p.m. and shot him in the left side of the head. Munday then fled.
In her ruling, Blue found two aggravating factors — that the killing represented an example of organized criminal activity and that there was a need to deter others from committing a similar offense. She also found two mitigating factors — that Munday had no prior record of juvenile delinquency and that he cooperated with the law enforcement investigation into the killing.
Adams has also plead guilty to aggravated manslaughter. His sentencing is pending.
