Man convicted of fatally shooting New Jersey pastor is sentenced to life in prison

On Monday, Rashid Ali Bynum, 31, of Portsmouth, Virginia, was sentenced to life in prison in New Brunswick, New Jersey for fatally shooting pastor Eunice Dwumfour.
On Feb. 1, 2023, Eunice Dwumfour was ambushed in her vehicle and shot 14 times outside her Sayreville apartment complex after their relationship soured; she had recruited Bynum into Fire Congress Fellowship.
Following a month-long trial, a jury convicted Bynum, though he said there was no direct evidence linking him to the shooting.
Michael Ashley said he plans to appeal the murder and weapons convictions and did not immediately return phone and email messages Monday afternoon.
An appeal is set to extend proceedings in New Jersey’s courts as Michael Ashley plans to challenge the conviction, while Fire Congress Fellowship, the Bible study organization Dwumfour founded, remains active.
