Virginia man convicted in 2023 ambush, murder of NJ councilwoman
A man accused of ambushing and killing New Jersey councilwoman and evangelical minister Eunice Dwumfour was found guilty Monday of her murder. Rashid Ali Bynum, 30, was convicted by a jury of nine men and three women after five hours of deliberation Friday and another hour and 15 minutes on Monday morning, the Newark Star Ledger reported. Dwumfour's husband and other family members wept at the verdict. The Newark-born and raised Dwumfour, 30, a Republican serving her first term on the Sayreville Council, had just dropped off a roommate after coming home from Walmart the night she was shot. She went to park while he brought the groceries into their rented home at the Camelot at La Mer apartment complex. At 7:22 p.m. she was shot 14 times while sitting in her car. The car rolled downhill about 100 feet and smashed into two parked cars. Surveillance footage later surfaced of a mysterious figure fleeing the scene, corroborating neighbors' descriptions. Dwumfour had beaten a Democratic incumbent in 2021 to become the town's first Black elected official. She was also a staple in the community for her work in the church. She lived at the Camelot at La Mer apartment complex with her preteen daughter and two roommates. Just a few months earlier she had a fellow pastor of her Nigeria-based church, the prosperity gospel group Champions Royal Assembly. Husband Peter Ezechukwu was due to arrive from Nigeria that spring. Police finally caught up with and arrested Bynum, a former church associate of Dwumfour's, in August 2023. He was indicted on murder and weapons charges the same month and denied bail. Bynum's attorney, Michael Ashley, told reporters after the verdict 'there was no direct evidence' his client had pulled the trigger, and that Bynum 'almost certainly' planned to appeal. He's scheduled for sentencing in August and faces 30 years to life in prison. With News Wire Services

Former Baton Rouge city-parish contractor sentenced to 7 years in prison on child porn charges
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A man formerly contracted to work with the City of Baton Rouge has been sentenced to serve seven years in federal prison after he was convicted on child porn charges. Blake Joseph Stenier, 37, was convicted of distribution of child pornography. The court also sentenced Steiner to serve five years of supervised release after his prison sentence. He was also ordered to complete sex offender treatment and register as a sex offender once he is released. According to admissions made during his plea, Steiner started a conversation on a mobileapplication group chat with an undercover agent. Steiner hoped to get access to a group thatwas dedicated to sharing and trading child pornography. Officials said to get access, Steiner first sent the undercover agent a video of himself and the date to verify his identity. In another effort to gain access to what he thought was an online child pornography group, Steiner sent a video of a girl under 12 years old being raped by an adult male. Steiner then admitted to the agent that he managed another child pornography grouponline and that he engaged in hands-on conduct involving a minor. The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Louisiana State Police and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Edward H. Warner.

Bedford teen killed in motor vehicle incident
More than 20 bouquets of flowers, many mementos, empty beer cans and an American flag encircled a utility pole on Wallace Road in Bedford on Monday afternoon. It marked the scene of yet another tragedy — the third time in 49 days that a teenager was killed in a motor vehicle incident in town. This time, a Bedford High School junior — a boy on the precipice of ascending to his senior year — died Sunday night in an incident with few details made public. The name of the boy has not been released and police are still investigating what happened. At 8:15 p.m., Bedford officers responded to a report of a person jumping out of a moving vehicle near Stagecoach Lane. The boy was taken to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Bedford High Principal Bob Jozokos sent a letter to parents first thing Monday, informing them that a student had died and offering help to students who would struggle with the news, which mourners said has become too common in Bedford. 'Why does this keep happening here?' one mourner said at the scene Monday afternoon while wiping tears and hugging her friend. The town suffered a similar loss on April 20 when resident Lauren Souza, a 16-year-old Trinity High School junior, was killed in a crash early Easter morning. On May 28, a Manchester 13-year-old died in a crash at the Kilton Road exit off Route 101. For about 100 or so students who intermittently gathered where their classmate was killed, there were more questions than answers. Most didn't want to talk. Those who did, didn't want their names in the paper. Everyone was shaken. 'He was the light of every room he was in,' said a female classmate. 'There wasn't a single person he wasn't friends with.' The girl and her friend were there when the victim's best friend arrived around 4:30 p.m. He, too, was still processing the news and unable to talk. About three hours earlier, a much larger contingent of mourners paid their respects, attaching dollar bills and a T-shirt to the utility pole. They gathered. They laughed. They cried. They shared stories. One young man who identified himself as the victim's brother asked for privacy. Others said they would love to share stories of their friend at another time when the sense of shock had cleared. And then, one by one, they reluctantly left the scene. Cars came and went like that all afternoon, just two days after the latest class of seniors celebrated at graduation. Bedford investigators determined the victim was a passenger of a car, but would not provide additional details. Residents of Bedford and surrounding towns speculated on social media platforms like Facebook as to who the boy was and how he died. Emotions and blame ran high. But still, there were no official answers. Anyone who may have seen anything on Wallace Road leading up to this incident can call the Bedford Police Department at 603-472-5113. dpierce@
