Rashid Ali Bynum is charged with killing Sayreville Councilwoman Eunice K. Dwumfour.
Middlesex County authorities announced earlier Tuesday that Bynum, 28, had been arrested on murder and related firearm charges in Chesapeake, Virginia. He is currently a resident of Portsmouth, a neighboring city.
Authorities did not reveal any alleged motives in the crime, but said Bynum was in Dwumfour’s phone contacts with an acronym for a Bible study group Dwumfour had created. The suspect was captured on surveillance footage running from the crime scene on Feb. 1 and investigators have evidence that Bynum traveled from Virginia to New Jersey the day of the murder, including EZ Pass and license plate readers that recorded the alleged journey of his rental car.The crimes vary, from motor-vehicle violations and drug possession to credit card larceny and weapon possession – and several of the charges are pending in court.
A Portsmouth, Virginia lawyer who represented Bynum in a recent case was unavailable for comment Tuesday evening.
