In December of 2020, he was also charged with the rape and murder of 18-year-old Dalmer Hussen in Phoenix, Arizona. Hussen was attacked sometime on September 24, 2000 while walking home from a friend’s house. He struggled against his attacker and was shot and killed. His body was found at 9:00 am on September 25 in a vacant lot. He was the eldest of 7 brothers.


In October of 2020, Ray was arrested in Bloomington, Indiana, where he was visiting. He was extradited to Phoenix and booked into the Maricopa County Jail. The investigation is ongoing, and it is believed that additional victims may exist.

Ray lived in the San Francisco, California, area in the early 1990s before moving to Portland, Oregon, in 1993. Ray resided in Oregon, Washington, and California until 1999, when Ray moved to Phoenix, Arizona, from 1999 to 2003. Ray then resided in California again from 2003 to 2017 before moving to St. Louis, Missouri, in 2017.
