MAPLE SHADE, NJ.- Late last month, a 25-year-old Clemeton, New Jersey, man was sentenced to three decades in New Jersey State Prison for his role in the armed robbery and shooting death of a 32-year-old Maple Shade, New Jersey, man that occurred in January of 2022, outside the man’s Maple Shade apartment.

     According to Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw, following a trial in Burlington County Superior Court, a jury deliberated for just two-and-a-half hours before finding Teon Macklin-Goodwin, 25, of Clementon, guilty on the charges of first-degree Felony Murder; first-degree Robbery; second-degree Conspiracy to Commit Robbery; second-degree Unlawful Possession of a Weapon; second-degree Possession of aWeapon for an Unlawful Purpose; and second-degree Certain Persons Not to Possess Weapons.

On August 29, 2025 Macklin-Goodwinw Is Sentenced To Prison

     On Friday, August 29, 2025, Macklin-Goodwine appeared in Burlington County Superior Court in Mount Holly, New Jersey, and was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Mark P. Tarantino to 30 years in New Jersey State Prison on the felony murder charge. Judge Tarantino sentenced Macklin-Goodwine to additional terms of imprisonment on the remaining offenses, but ordered those terms to be served concurrently with the 30-year term. 

     Additionally, Judge Tarantino ordered Macklin-Goodwine to serve the entire 30 years before becoming eligible for parole. 

Conviction And Sentence Stems From A Botched Armed Robbery

     The conviction and sentence stem from an investigation that began when, during the evening hours of January 16, 2022, members of the Maple Shade Police Department responded to 911 Emergency Calls reporting gunfire at the Fox Meadow Apartment Complex. Upon arrival, Police Officers found a man, later identified as Ezekiel Sanders, Jr., 32, of Maple Shade, New Jersey, lying on the ground on Gardenia Drive inside the Fox Meadow apartment complex, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

     Mr. Sanders was transported to Jefferson Hospital in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, where, despite life-saving efforts at the time, Mr. Sanders succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased shortly after arriving at the hospital. 

     During a subsequent investigation, Detectives of the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office and the Maple Shade Police Department uncovered that Macklin-Goodwine and a co-conspirator, Gregory Barry, 24, of Glassboro, New Jersey, had gone to Mr. Sanders’ apartment complex with the intention of committing a robbery. Under a plea agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office, Berry pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated manslaughter late last year in return for a 17-year prison term and is currently awaiting sentencing.
