Mount Clemens, MI – Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced today that his office added a charge of Conspiracy to Commit Homicide – First Degree, a life-without-parole offense, against Dawn Huffman. This new charge comes in addition to her existing charges of Embezzlement of $100,000 or more, a 20-year felony, and Conspiracy to Commit Embezzlement – Agent or Trustee of $1,000 or more, a 5-year felony.
Her husband, Rachard Huffman, and her husband’s brother, Jasan Martin, had previously been charged with Conspiracy to Commit First Degree Murder, in addition to other charges.
Dawn Huffman, formerly the office manager for Jawad Investments, is accused of embezzling more than $100,000 from the company. Prosecutors allege that she, along with Rachard Huffman and Jasan Martin, conspired to silence the company’s owner, Eddie Jawad, after he noticed unusual activity on a business credit card. It is alleged that on Oct. 14, 2025, Martin hid under a vehicle in Jawad’s driveway and fired multiple gunshots as Jawad drove past.
The Preliminary Exam for Jasan Martin, Rachard Huffman, and Dawn Huffman is scheduled before Judge Stephen S. Sierawski in the 41A District Court in Shelby Township, MI on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025, at 1 p.m.
“The additional charge reflects the seriousness of the alleged conduct and is the direct result of diligent investigation and uncovering additional evidence,” Prosecutor Lucido said. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to pursue the facts wherever they lead and to hold all responsible parties fully accountable.”
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office represents the People and remains committed to achieving justice and upholding Michigan law. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
