Three more people have been arrested, while another three remain at large, in the investigation surrounding the suspected abduction of Huntsville realtor Ronald Leslie Dumas Jr.
FOX13 in Memphis is also reporting that two people who were arrested Tuesday in the case face multiple charges and also have a history of being accused of kidnapping.
The Memphis Police Fugitive Unit, the U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Task Force, and the Shelby County Fugitive Apprehension Team on Tuesday raided a house in the 3100 block of Danville Road in Memphis.
Quintarius Shikelion White, 32, and Kierra Symone Clark, 27, both of Memphis, are in the Shelby County, Tenn. Jail.
Three other people were arrested as accessories after the fact – harboring: Dedrick Woodard, 26; Cassy Feathers, 43, and Jasmine Braden, 28.
White had warrants issued charging him with especially aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, convicted felon in possession of a firearm, robbery, trafficking for a commercial sex act, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated assault- acting in concert.
Clark had warrants charging her with aggravated kidnapping, especially aggravated kidnapping, trafficking for a commercial sex act, assault- bodily harm, aggravated burglary and aggravated assault – acting in concert.
White and Clark were among five people wanted since February in connection with the December 2024 disappearance of Ronald Leslie Dumas Jr., 37.
According to FOX 13, White was charged nearly two years ago with multiple counts of kidnapping, multiple counts of trafficking for a commercial sex act, aggravated assault, aggravated burglary, aggravated kidnapping, robbery, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Clark also was charged that year with multiple counts of kidnapping, several counts of trafficking for commercial sex acts, aggravated assault, assault, and aggravated burglary. Both were out on bond.
Memphis Deputy Chief T. D. Jackson, said the arrests “underscore the strength of collaboration across law enforcement agencies.”
James Andrews, the Dumas family’s private investigator, told WHNT the family hopes the arrests will lead to answers in Dumas’ case.
“Everybody’s excited about the news or, you know, it’s felt like it’s been a drought of information and, it felt like it’s been a long time since we’ve had any positive news,” he said. “So I know the family’s relieved that at least two of these folks are off the street.”
Dumas was last seen on surveillance footage entering a liquor store with two women on Dec. 15. He left the store with them, appearing unharmed.
Dumas’ car was found on Interstate 40 in Camden, Tenn., on Dec. 16. His phone was also tracked heading south from Memphis on Dec. 21.
He was placed on the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s Missing Persons List as a missing adult on Dec. 23.
In February, Huntsville police said investigators had obtained critical new evidence “indicating that [Dumas] was abducted.”
At that time, police issued five warrants in connection with the case, which included White and Clark.
Others still being sought are:
- Toure Laron McLaurin, 33, of Memphis, wanted for first degree kidnapping.
- Sabrina Rochelle Chambers, 27, of Huntsville, wanted for first degree kidnapping.
- Carissa Cash, 33, of Memphis, wanted for first degree receiving stolen property.
Huntsville police are asking that anyone who recognizes or encounters these people to report their whereabouts immediately to local law enforcement.
