Surveillance video links man to Atlantic City killing, affidavit says

  • News

Surveillance video links an Atlantic City man to a New Year’s Day killing, according to the affidavit obtained by BreakingAC.
Jamie Sewell, 53, is charged with killing Lamir King in a shooting at about 6:25 p.m. Jan. 1.
King — known to friends as Sav — was found fatally shot in his Honda Civic after it rolled into the intersection of Lincoln and Ohio avenues.
Video footage from the area shows the Civic park at Lincoln, and then a man approaches the driver’s side on foot.
The suspect appears to take out a handgun with his left hand, and shoots at the victim, the investigator’s statement reads.
The shooter then walks away. An apparent limp is evident, which matches with other video of Sewell walking, according to the statement.
Sewell has admitted to being left-handed and “pigeon toed,” but told police he was at the rear of his residence in the 1500 block of North Westminster Place at the time of the shooting.
Surveillance video contradicts that, the statement reads.

Additional video shows Sewell leaving his home at about 5:40 p.m., and returning 50 minutes later.
“Therefore, Sewell had the opportunity to commit the crime given the geography of the neighborhood and other video coverage,” the statement reads.
Clothing matching that of the shooter and of Sewell in other video from that day was found in his home Jan. 25.
Google data from his cell phone also matches the times and locations of the shooter, the investigation found.
Sewell remains in the Atlantic County Justice Facility awaiting a detention hearing set for Wednesday.
