A Vineland man admitted last week to killing a mother of five in a double shooting outside a South Jersey convenience store , according to court records and the county prosecutor.

Eric Bundy-Johnson, 35, pleaded guilty Thursday to first-degree murder, attempted murder and weapons offenses in the shooting that killed Bonnie Hitchins of Bridgeton and wounded another man, Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae said.

The plea came just weeks after the one-year anniversary of Hitchins’ killing outside a store on East Green Street on Oct. 26, 2024.

Prosecutors said Hitchins, 41, was sitting in a parked car when Bundy-Johnson fired four shots through the driver’s side window, killing her and wounding a man whose name has not been released.
