FBI agents are now investigating after a Republican councilwoman was ‘shot in the face seven times’ while driving her SUV home – as Governor Phil Murphy said it was ‘not politically motivated’.
Eunice Dwumfour, 30, was shot outside of her home in Sayreville, New Jersey on Wednesday night, with friends calling it a ‘targeted and personal attack’.
According to friends, the mother-of-one was shot seven times in the face and seven times in the body.
She crashed her SUV with her slumped over the wheel, with horrified neighbors hearing multiple gunshots and then a crash.
Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office and Sayreville Police are leading the investigation, with the FBI now becoming ‘involved’ in the investigation.
Dwumfour was found inside of her white Nissan SUV with multiple gunshot wounds on Samuel Circle just before 7.30pm.
She recently married a pastor who lives in Nigeria, just before Thanksgiving, and lived in the apartment with her 12-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
Friend and Pastor Nelia Rodriguez told The Ingraham Angle that she believes the incident was a ‘personal attack’.
She added: ‘We believe it [was] very personal because she was shot seven times in the face and another seven shots were hitting everywhere else.
‘So for somebody to get so close to somebody and shoot them so many times, it has to be personal.’
The Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office said the investigation into Dwumfour’s death is ongoing and officials have not released a motive or any information about a suspect.
There have been no arrested in the case, with officials seen searching a wooded area near her home after witnesses claimed they saw a man run off in that direction after the shooting.
Police received a tip that the murder weapon had been dumped in the area, so brought in police dogs to search the area.
