Mom, a bank exec, killed in crossfire after work, DE cops say. Four now indicted
Three years after a bank executive was fatally shot blocks away from her workplace, four men are facing charges in the mother's death, Delaware officials announced. Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings announced the indictments on June 24, marking a major breakthrough in a case that had gone cold. 'Carrie Mondell was coming home from work when she was senselessly killed by a bullet that was never meant for her,' Jennings said during a press conference streamed by Delaware Online. 'Her murder became a cold case, but nothing is ever cold in the state of Delaware.' The 37-year-old mother was the senior vice president of risk management at WSFS Bank in Wilmington, according to her obituary. Mondell had just left her office Aug. 16, 2022, and was driving home when she was struck by a stray bullet during a 'gang-related shootout,' Delaware Online reported. She died at a hospital. The Wilmington Police Department said a 22-year-old man was also injured in the shooting. After three years, Jennings announced the following charges against four people involved in the Exit 4 gang: ▪ Neiamjha Rollins: charged with theft of a motor vehicle and second-degree conspiracy. ▪ Nyair Small: charged with receiving stolen property, second-degree conspiracy, first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, first-degree conspiracy, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a person prohibited and tampering with physical evidence. ▪ Philip Harris: charged with receiving stolen property, second-degree conspiracy, first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, first-degree conspiracy and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. ▪ Daeshawn Shields: charged with receiving stolen property, second-degree conspiracy, first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, first-degree conspiracy and tampering with physical evidence. 'I hope that this indictment may bring some measure of comfort to the Mondell family, and all those who have been affected by this senseless tragedy,' Wilmington Police Chief Wilfredo Campos said in a statement. Mondell called 'caring and passionate' In a statement to the Delaware Business Times after Mondell's death, WSFS Bank CEO, President and Chairman Rodger Levenson said the 'grief and shock' felt by the company was 'impossible to put into words.' 'She was a caring and passionate person who served WSFS for more than 14 years,' Levenson said. 'Carrie loved and supported her family and many friends.' Mondell was a mother to a 6-year-old boy and was described in a GoFundMe as 'a beam of light and love.' 'She continues to leave a legacy of love and light to all who knew her, especially her son, Mason,' according to her obituary.
