New Jersey Black Republican Councilwoman is Viciously Gunned Down in Her Car, Police Investigating Motive

A black Republican councilwoman from New Jersey was viciously gunned down in her car outside of her home on Wednesday.

30-year-old Eunice Dwumfour, a councilwoman from the borough of Sayreville since her election in November 2021, was left riddled with bullet wounds while driving near her home. Her car slid into other vehicles and she was found dead on the scene, according to Middlesex County officials. The news has shocked New Jersey political officials in both major parties.

Sayreville Mayor Victoria Kilpatrick stated that she was “shocked and saddened” by the news of Dwumfour’s death, adding that Dwumfour was “taken from us by a despicable criminal act.” They had both worked together as colleagues on the council.
