    Maybe the FBI thinks it's important because they're considering that it was a race-based crime.

    They don't care about this obscure women's death, and the only reason they rushed here to post it on the board is the fleeting hope this might be pinned on Democrats as some kind of political assassination

    Precisely. Watch them all slink away, though, if it's found that the killer is a white supremacist.

    I'll make a bet with you that it isn't a White Supremacist if you bet it isn't a Black person.

    And maybe they think it is important because they think it was politically motivated.

    More proof you aren't a doctor since educated people know there's no such thing as race.

    That said, my first guess is that it was someone she knew.

    A New Jersey councilwoman -- the mother of a young daughter and leader of her church -- was shot and killed in a possible attack outside her home, an incident officials are calling "shocking" and "senseless."

    Eunice Dwumfour was the first sitting elected official in recent memory who had been shot and killed in office in the state, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy told reporters Thursday.

    Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone told ABC News the councilwoman’s political position does not yet appear to have played any role in the homicide.

    "I am stunned by the news of Sayreville Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour's murder last evening in an act of gun violence," Murphy said. "Her career of public service was just beginning, and by all accounts she had already built a reputation as a committed member of the Borough Council who took her responsibility with the utmost diligence and seriousness."



    Dwumfour was inside her white SUV when she was shot Wednesday night, officials said. She sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

    Dwumfour lived in the townhouse complex where she was killed. A motive for the shooting was not immediately disclosed. Police did not say if a suspect was identified or an arrest had been made.

    Mahesh Chitnis, who serves on Sayreville's Human Relations Commission, posted on Facebook that Dwumfour, his neighbor, was "killed 300 feet from my home ... she was shot while returning back home. She was a woman full of life."

    Police have no clear motive for Dwumfour’s killing, according to law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation. However, detectives have her phone and they are looking at every aspect of her life - personal, professional, religious - to figure out why this happened, sources told ABC News.

    Dwumfour had just dropped someone off at her townhome and was heading somewhere else when the assailant approached on foot, according to sources.

    No words appear to have been exchanged between the two, sources told ABC News.

    Eyewitnesses reported hearing more than 10 shots, sources added.

    Dwumfour was elected to the council in 2021 and worked as a business analyst and part-time emergency medical technician. She was recently married and had a 12-year-old daughter. Dwumfour was also known to be a leader of her church in Newark.

    New Jersey Republican State Committee Chair Bob Hugin said Dwumfour's murder was "senseless violence."

    "We will remember Eunice for her steadfast dedication to the community, as well as her deep and abiding Christian faith," Hugin said. "We have the utmost confidence that law enforcement will bring the perpetrators of this heartbreaking tragedy to justice. God Bless Councilwoman Dwumfour and her family."

    New Jersey. I can't help but think the crime might be mob-related.

    Indeed. That and it's New Jersey - which is why I think the mob might be involved.

    My first instinct is that it's the husband. Or if she was a he, the wife.

    Only if the husband hired a hitman. It was a mob-style hit. But you're right - they always look at the spouse first, if just to eliminate them as a person of interest.

    Emptying a magazine is a lot of rage or a lot of making sure the person is dead. This strikes me as slightly amateurish and high in passion.

    The mob would have just put a .22 behind her ear and left.
