Huntsville: Reward Increased for Information on Missing Realtor Ronald Dumas Jr.
The family of missing Huntsville realtor Ronald Dumas Jr. has raised the reward for information leading to his whereabouts to $5,000, an increase from the original $3,500 set on July 11. Ronald Dumas Jr. has been missing since December 2024, and efforts to locate him have intensified.
Huntsville Police have identified five individuals as suspects in connection with Dumas’ disappearance. Among them, Quintarius Shikelion White and Kierra Symone Clark were arrested in April on multiple charges, including aggravated kidnapping, burglary, and trafficking. The search continues for three additional suspects: Toure Laron McLaurin, 33, of Memphis; Sabrina Rochelle Chambers, 27, of Huntsville; and Carissa Cash, 33, also from Memphis.
The investigation revealed that Dumas was last seen on December 15 entering a liquor store with two women, from which he left apparently unharmed. The following day, his vehicle was found abandoned on Interstate 40 in Camden, Tennessee. Tracking of Dumas’ cell phone indicated movement south from Memphis on December 21, leading to his inclusion on the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s Missing Persons List shortly after, on December 23.
Investigative Developments
In February, recent evidence led police to believe that Dumas had been abducted. Huntsville Police have issued five warrants related to the case, including those for suspects White and Clark. Two additional individuals, Dedrick Woodard, 26; Cassy Feathers, 43; and Jasmine Braden, 28, have been arrested as accessories after the fact. White and Clark also have a history of allegations related to kidnapping.
Supporting the Family
As the search for Dumas continues, his family has taken steps to provide some stability and support for his three children. A GoFundMe campaign titled “Help Ronnie’s Kids Find Joy Amidst Tragedy” has been launched to raise $8,000 for the children, aimed at helping them attend summer camp and celebrate their birthdays. As of June 3, the effort has raised $600.
