On Friday, Apr. 4, Tamasa T. Nobles, 30, of Ventnor, NJ, entered a guilty plea to the charge of aggravated manslaughter for the killing of Devon Devine, 28, of Millville.
In the early afternoon of December 2, 2012, Ventnor City police responded to a 9-1-1 call for an unresponsive male who had reportedly been stabbed during an altercation. Upon arrival, police officers found Devon Devine outside of Nobles’ residence on the 300 block of Wissahickon Avenue in Ventnor, suffering from a stab wound to the chest.
