Suspect Who Allegedly Raped a 15-Year-Old Girl Now Accused of Killing Her So She Couldn’t Testify

A 42-year-old, Quinn James, was accused of raping a then 15-year-old girl in a school parking lot last summer. Now he’s facing a murder charge after allegedly killing her while he was out on bail.

James worked as a groundskeeper at East Kentwood Public Schools where the victim, Mujey Dumbuya, was a student. She was expected to testify at his trial this month.

In connection with Mujey’s death, a second man, Gerald Bennett, has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder. According to police, James solicited Bennett through an unnamed source in Detroit, seeking assistance with the murder and disposal of the body . . .

Prior to be hired by the school district, James’ criminal record included convictions for an armed robbery, and two counts of prisoner in possession of a weapon. But Superintendent Michael Zoerhoff said that James provided strong references from community members, and was “hired because he fit the qualifications for working as a groundskeeper.” (Read more from “Suspect Who Allegedly Raped a 15-Year-Old Girl Now Accused of Killing Her So She Couldn’t Testify” HERE)
