Man with Criminal Record Arrested for Murder of N.J Councilwoman

  • Rashid Ali Bynum was arrested in Virginia for the fatal shooting of New Jersey councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour in February.
  • Bynum has a lengthy criminal record, including firearms charges in Virginia in 2015 and Maryland in 2019.
  • Bynum's number was saved as a contact in Dwumfour's phone with the acronym FCF, which authorities believe stood for the Fire Congress Fellowship, a church Dwumfour once belonged to.
  • Dwumfour was a former EMT, IT consultant, and active in her local church and nonprofit groups.
  • Bynum faces a count of first-degree murder and gun-related charges in Dwumfour's death and could face life in prison if convicted.
