An Atlantic City man was sentenced to five years in prison Monday in the shooting of a cabdriver last year.
Karmor Dolleh, 32, was found shot at about 10:48 a.m. in the 200 block of North Kentucky Avenue.
He suffered a gunshot wound to the left side of his hip, where a bullet lodged, according to previously released information. Dolleh needed surgery.
Dolleh told police that he was called to the same location to pick up the same man three days before the shooting.
At that time, he said he drove Lampkin to the laundromat at 1741 Baltic Ave., according to the affidavit of probable cause obtained by BreakingAC.
Surveillance video helped lead to Lampkin.
The cab had blood spatter, two cell phones, a bottle of Patron and a handgun with a 9mm spent shell casing caught in the gun, a malfunction called a “stovepipe,” the affidavit states.
Lampkin’s grandmother arrived at the scene, according to the affidavit. When she called the number she had for him her phone, “the phones left in the cab after the shooting both rang.”
Amir Lampkin was arrested Dec. 8, and has remained in the Atlantic County Justice Facility.
During a detention hearing, the defense argued someone else fired the gun.
Lampkin has since pleaded guilty, and faced a maximum of 10 years in prison.
Judge Donna Taylor sentenced him to five years with a mandatory 85 percent under the No Early Release Act.
