A 30-year-old Republican Councilwoman, Eunice Dwumfour, was sh0t de@d outside her home in Sayreville, New Jersey, in the U.S.
Dwumfour, a member of the Sayreville Borough Council, was the wife of a Nigerian pastor, Eze Kings Akwue, who is based in Abuja and hails from Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The couple got married on November 24, 2022, at Champions Royal Assembly in Kubwa, Abuja.
She was found in her white Nissan SUV with several gunsh0t wounds, close to her townhome, just before 7:30 p.m. last Wednesday.
Officers with the Sayreville Police Department responded to reports of a sh00ting at 7:22 p.m. in Parlin, an unincorporated area of Sayreville, and found Ms. Dwumfour in her car with multiple gunsh0t wounds, according to a statement by the Middlesex County prosecutor’s office. She was pronounced d£ad at the scene.
Neighbors told a local CBS News station that they heard two sets of four loud gunshots. After Dwumfour was shot, her vehicle rolled down the hill before crashing into parked cars, with her body slumped over the wheel.
“They looked outside and they saw someone running into the woods, which leads to the parkway,” a neighbour said.
A resident told Fox News Digital that police arrived at the scene within minutes and were trying to break the window of the car.
Witnesses also said they saw a person wearing a hoodie run between two buildings and jump a fence.
Police in Sayreville, a town in Middlesex County, searched the wooded area near the quiet complex where Dwumfour lived, as well as the Garden State Parkway nearby.
