It’s been a week since someone gunned down New Jersey Republican Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour outside her home last Wednesday.
Prince Dwumfour, Eunice’s father, admitted, “So far, we haven’t heard anything yet.”
A witness said someone shot at Dwumfour’s car 12 times around 7:15 p.m. in her white Nissan SUV on February 1:
“It took a second before I realized there was a dead body behind the wheel,” the witness explained.“She was slumped over the wheel with a black hoodie with brown fur covering her head, her hands were down by her side. There was one bullet hole in the passenger door and a bunch of bullet holes in the driver door. Some other neighbors said they saw someone running away with a mask on.”Some locals told RLS Media that the gunman was spotted racing off to the Garden State Parkway, which edges the complex. No other details were given on possible identifying details or a weapon.
The Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office wants the court to issue an injunction against news organizations “to prevent the release of investigative records” concerning Dwumfour’s murder:
In its motion, the Prosecutor’s Office argues that “clearly defined and serious injury would result given the privacy interest of the victim and the victim’s family” if the records were released.“That interest clearly outweighs the presumption in favor of disclosure given the nature of the offense, specifically in light of the fact that a public figure was murdered on a public street,” the Prosecutor’s Office contends.
The office told the media they could “submit an Open Public Records Act form.”
The office has released two statements “saying there would be no statements or press conferences about the killing.”
The FBI is involved with the investigation but, like local authorities, didn’t offer any information.
Dwumfour married Eze Kings, a man in Nigeria, but he has not yet arrived in the United States. She lived with her 12-year-old from a previous relationship.
Dwumfour was elected to the Sayreville Borough Council in 2021.
