Jurors sitting for the trial of the man accused of killing a Sayreville councilwoman were back in court listening to six more witnesses for the state.

The prosecution is methodically linking suspect Rashid Bynum to the murder of Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour.

The prosecution didn’t actually speak of Bynum directly during Wednesday’s testimony. Rather, a witness spoke about the car that investigators claim Bynum used to drive away from the crime scene.

The Middlesex County prosecutor has said that Bynum used a rented white Hyundai to drive from Virginia to Sayreville, where he allegedly shot at Dumfour 15 times from close range while she was sitting in the driver’s side of her SUV.

Witness Pamela Parks testified Wednesday that she saw a white car parked on Gondek Drive, close to the crime scene, around the time of the February 2023 shooting. She told jurors she noticed it because it was in an unusual spot.

“No one ever parks there. It’s not a good place to park, it’s right on a curve,” said Parks.

Parks also stated that at around 9 p.m. that evening, after learning about the shooting in the neighboring complex, she called police to tell them about that white car. She also testified about hearing screeching from tires and someone laying on their horn.

But the defense took her to task on that.

“Do you think that a suspect trying to escape from a murder scene would try to make a lot of noise and draw attention to themselves?” asked defense attorney Michael Ashley.

The prosecution objected to the question and Parks never answered.

Parks also testified that she never saw anyone get in that car.

The defense stated in opening arguments that no eyewitness to the shooting has identified Bynum as the shooter.

Jurors also saw video from a commuter bus that was driving along Gondek Drive, where the Hyundai was parked on the night of the murder. They were also shown data from license plate readers linking that car to the route from New Jersey to Virginia, where Bynum was living.

A motive for the shooting of the Sayreville councilwoman has never been revealed.

The defense has said Bynum had no motive to kill Dwumfour because he had no animosity toward her. Bynum and Dwumfour knew one another through their mutual involvement in a church.

Testimony resumes Thursday.
