On the evening of February 1, 2023, 30-year-old Eunice K. Dwumfour was ambushed in her white Nissan SUV just outside her Parlin, New Jersey, townhouse. The Sayreville councilwoman was struck by multiple gunshots, pronounced dead at the scene, and her vehicle rolled into parked cars after the attack. Her 12-year-old daughter was inside the home at the time.

Investigators described the probe as complex and extensive, involving local police, the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, and the FBI. Surveillance footage captured a suspect fleeing, witnesses provided descriptions, and cell phone records were examined. A contact saved in Dwumfour’s phone as FCF — believed to be linked to a church she had been affiliated with, Fire Congress Fellowship — was identified as a lead.

Authorities traced the trail to 28-year-old Rashid Ali Bynum of Portsmouth, Virginia. He was arrested in Chesapeake City, Virginia, on May 30, 2023, charged with first-degree murder and weapons offenses, and extradited to New Jersey. Prosecutors did not publicly disclose a motive. If anyone knew Eunice, her movements that night, or has information about the case, please share what you can.
