More than a month after the murder of a Sayreville councilwoman, the case remains shrouded in mystery. No arrests have been made and authorities still haven’t released details of any known suspect in the killing of 30-year-old Eunice Dwumfour.
On Saturday, family and loved ones who gathered for Dwumfour’s funeral at the Bethany Baptist Church in Newark said they remain in a state of shock. The first-term Republican councilwoman and church leader was found dead in her SUV on Feb. 1, with multiple gunshot wounds. In 911 calls made public, witnesses reported seeing a man dressed in black shooting into the driver’s side of the vehicle, then escaping on foot.
Her family is now getting help from former Assemblyman John Wisniewski. Wisniewski and the family are set to meet with authorities later this week to get a better understanding of where the investigation stands.
