'Key suspect' in kidnapping of Huntsville realtor released on bond, records show

SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. (WHNT) — One of the key suspects accused of kidnapping Huntsville realtor Ronald Dumas Jr. has been released on bond, jail records show.

Kierra Clark is one of the five suspects wanted for the disappearance of Dumas. Both Clark and Quintarius Shikelion White were arrested in April by the U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force, the Memphis Police Department Fugitive Unit and the Shelby County Fugitive Apprehension Team. They were booked into the Shelby County Jail.

Both of them were originally held without bond; however, Shelby County Jail records show that on June 27, Clark posted a $500,000 bond and she was released on July 30.

The Huntsville Police Department described Clark and White as “key suspects” in the case.

Clark’s next court date is set for August 5, and White’s next court date is set for August 13, Shelby County Jail records show.

News 19 has reached out to the Huntsville Police Department to learn more about this development.

In February, HPD said that they had obtained a first-degree kidnapping warrant for White and a conspiracy to commit kidnapping warrant for Clark.

The Memphis Police Department told News 19 that White had warrants 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 out for her arrest for aggravated Kidnapping, Especially Aggravated Kidnapping, Trafficking for a Commercial Sex Act, Assault- Bodily Harm, Aggravated Burglary, and Aggravated Assault – Acting in Concert.

MPD said that three other people were found inside the home with White and Clark. Those three were charged with aiding and abetting custody.

• Dedrick Woodard, 26, is charged with Accessory After the Fact to wit: Harboring.
• Cassy Feathers, 43, is charged with Accessory After the Fact to wit: Harboring.
• Jasmine Braden, 28, is charged with Accessory After the Fact to wit: Harboring.

Dumas was last seen on Dec. 15, 2024. A missing persons report was filed on Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2024, and he was placed on the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s Missing Persons List as a missing adult on Dec. 23.

HPD and ALEA upgraded the missing adult alert for Dumas to a missing and endangered person alert on Feb. 7, saying he “is believed to have been abducted and in danger of bodily harm or death.”

Huntsville Police say the three other people wanted in Dumas’s disappearance are:

• Toure Laron McLaurin, 33, of Memphis, TN, is wanted for first-degree kidnapping.
• Sabrina Rochelle Chambers, 27, of Huntsville, AL, is wanted for first-degree kidnapping.
• Carissa Cash, 33, of Memphis, TN, is wanted for first-degree receiving stolen property.

Police ask that anyone who recognizes or encounters these individuals report their whereabouts immediately to local law enforcement. This remains an active investigation and additional charges may follow as more information emerges.

Anyone with information may contact Investigator Gregory Hayden at 256-427-5485 or provide an anonymous tip by calling 256-532-7463.

Court records show that White, Clark and McLaurin all have a history of kidnapping, among other charges.

In Feb. 2024, White was indicted on the following charges:

• Especially aggravated kidnapping
• Aggravated kidnapping
• Aggravated kidnapping
• Trafficking for commercial sex act
