Summary of Offense:
On January 28, 1993, Anthony Mungin was convicted of first-degree murder.
On September 16, 1990, a Jacksonville convenience store clerk, Betty Jean Woods, was shot in the head and died four days later. A customer of the convenience store, who entered the store shortly after the shooting, recalled seeing a man rushing out of the store with a paper bag. The customer, who later identified the man leaving the store as Mungin, discovered the wounded clerk. After the incident, a store supervisor noticed a cash discrepancy of $59.05 from the cash register.
On September 18, 1990, Mungin was arrested in Kingsland, Georgia, after a police search of his house uncovered a .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol, bullets, and Mungin’s Georgia identification card. This arrest was for additional offenses committed two days prior to the murder of Woods. After an analysis of the bullet recovered from Woods, it was determined that it was fired from the .25-caliber pistol discovered at Mungin’s residence.
Mungin was sentenced to death in Duval County on February 23, 1993.
