The shooting took place inside a parked car on Baldwin Lane in the Buckingham Park section of Willingboro Township, according to Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw.
Devon Woods, 28, of the first block of Vine Street, was convicted of murder, robbery, conspiracy and weapons offenses, Bradshaw said.
The Superior Court jury returned the verdict on Thursday, Oct. 20 after deliberating for approximately 2½ hours inside the Burlington County Courts Facility in Mount Holly.
Woods was arrested along with Sam Gore of Willingboro and accused of killing Deasia Ayres of Willingboro on Sept. 18, 2019.
The investigation revealed that Woods fired a handgun into her neck and head as she sat inside her Dodge Durango, Bradshaw said. The motive was robbery.
Gore, 28, will be scheduled for trial on similar charges. Gore and Woods have been held in the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly since being arrested a week after the shooting.
