AZ - Dalmer Hussen, 18, Phoenix, Murdered, Other Sexual Assaults, 2000 *Arrest in 2020*

[Legally Bland]

The Phoenix Police Department, Peoria Police Department and FBI Phoenix Field Office are asking for the public’s help in seeking victims and information about a 20-year-old cold case.

According to a press release from Phoenix police spokesperson Sgt. Mercedes Fortune, the case involves an alleged sexual offender and homicide suspect Lance David Ray.

Ray, 53, was arrested in October in connection with three separate incidents in 2000 after DNA evidence linked him to the crimes.

Police seek victims of Lance Ray, arrested on murder, assault charges



The FBI along with police in Phoenix and Peoria, Arizona, say Ray in July 2000 kidnapped a 14-year-old boy in Peoria and sexually assaulted him at gunpoint. They say a month later in Phoenix he forced a 17-year-old boy into his car at gunpoint, drove him to an isolated location and sexually assaulted him.


The following month in Phoenix, Dalmer Hussen, 18, left a friend’s house to walk home and was found the following morning fatally shot in an empty lot. Police eventually tied all three incidents together through DNA evidence, officials said.

[...]


Ray has lived in several locations over the years. Public records show he lived in Ironton, Missouri, prior to moving to St. Louis. It also appears he lived for a time in Granite City and Edwardsville.

He lived in San Francisco in the early 90s and then moved to Portland, Oregon, in 1993. He moved between Oregon, Washington and California until 1999, when he moved to Phoenix, where he lived until 2003. He then lived in California for several years until moving east.

Authorities are encouraging anyone with information to reach out to reportray@fbi.gov or 800-225-5324.
