Two Exit 4 Gang Members Convicted in Delaware Murders

State of DE - Two Delaware men have been convicted in connection with the murders of two women as part of an ongoing effort by the state's Department of Justice to hold members of the Exit 4 gang accountable for a string of violent crimes.

Neiamjha Rollins, 19, of Wilmington, was sentenced on May 15 to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple charges, including Manslaughter, in connection with the 2021 homicide of Latahesia Hill. His guilty plea also included Illegal Gang Participation, Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony, Conspiracy First Degree, Conspiracy Second Degree, Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Attempted Robbery First Degree, and Assault First Degree.

Philip Harris, 26, of Smyrna, was convicted on May 20 of Murder First Degree in connection with the killing of Carrie Mondell. Harris was also found guilty of Gang Participation, Robbery First Degree, Conspiracy First and Second Degree, Wearing a Disguise During the Commission of a Felony, 11 counts of Attempted Murder, and 14 counts of Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony.

Harris is scheduled to be sentenced on June 4. He faces a minimum mandatory life sentence plus up to 210 additional years in prison.

The charges against Harris stem from two separate incidents. On September 30, 2020, Delaware State Police responded to a robbery at a Walgreens in Bear, where two men forced a victim from his vehicle at gunpoint while he waited in the parking lot. DNA from Harris was later recovered from the vehicle's steering wheel.

On August 16, 2022, Wilmington police responded to a shooting at 7th and Washington Streets. Officers found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to the head, who survived but sustained serious injuries. They also located Carrie Mondell inside her vehicle, which had crashed nearby, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. Mondell was pronounced dead the following day.

Attorney General Kathy Jennings addressed the convictions with the victims' families in mind. "Today my heart is especially present with the families of Carrie Mondell and Latahesia Hill, who, along with the families of the other victims, have been forced to endure unimaginable shock and grief by Exit 4's senseless and despicable violence," Jennings said. "I am profoundly grateful to our team at the DOJ and in the Wilmington Police Department who have worked tirelessly to bring these criminals to justice."

Wilmington Police Chief Wilfredo Campos also commented on the outcome. "These results mark the latest consequences for members of this destructive group, who are responsible for a series of violent crimes that touched countless families," Campos said. "I continue to be proud and appreciative of the work of our dedicated investigators for their tireless efforts to bring these defendants to justice and thank the prosecutors who have worked to ensure they face significant prison sentences."

Between January 2020 and December 2024, Exit 4 members are alleged to have committed multiple murders, including those of Carrie Mondell, Latahesia Hill, Khalil Ameer-Bey, and Kwamir Wise, along with the attempted murder of several other victims.

Nearly all individuals connected to these crimes have entered guilty pleas. The one remaining exception is Javour Tabron, who is currently scheduled for trial in July.
