And maybe they think it is important because they think it was politically motivated.
Republican councilwoman shot and killed in possible targeted attack outside her home
- Thread starter ziggy
- Start date
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.
Remember when you got pissed at me when I brought up twump in one your threads complaining about one of Biden's alleged lies?
Practice what you preach, Tiger!
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.
Same here. It strikes me more as a crime of passion to empty a gun into someone.
I hope we find out.

A Republican nutjob in New Mexico takes shots at a Democrat = National news
A Democrat nutjob in Kentucky or New Jersey takes shots at a Republican = Nothing to see here, move along...
A Democrat nutjob in Kentucky or New Jersey takes shots at a Republican = Nothing to see here, move along...
The odds favor we will. Amateur crimes leave a lot of evidence such as 10 shell casings with fingerprints, manufacturer markings, video surveillance, etc.
Yep, always look at the spouse first - but I still think it's a mob hit - she likely voted the wrong way at her last council meeting.
Smart hitmen use stolen guns that either can't be traced or are traced to someone else.

You idiots that post News Events under investigation, and try to make some kind of Political Verdict and Hanging party out of it, before all of the facts in the case have been established, are nothing more than vultures and political trolls- who make everything about race, guns, and politics!
Here- you want politics to lead your Political Rants, here is something that you may need to know!
In December, Gov. Murphy signed legislation banning concealed carry in so-called sensitive places, in response to last year's Supreme Court decision. It was immediately challenged by several rulings that chipped away at the state's ability to enforce in certain locations. One was just handed down by a federal judge Monday.
Also, She had just recently married a pastor who lives in Nigeria- of who knows what religion?
So her perpetrator and assassin could be anything from a Racist, Religious Nut, to a Guntarded activist, or even her ex-husband or one of her boyfriends of the past.
Why would any democrats be mad enough to kill a Republican who supports Gun Restriction and public safety laws? Democrats put these people on a pedestal and even vote for them.
This looks like a crime of passion to me!
And we know how passionate people are about their guns, Religions, their race, and ex-lovers!
Let the investigation take it's course, and stop with the pointing of fingers to flare up unnecessary fake news and conspiracy theories and sheer hatred, without even knowing the facts in the case.
Here is just another fire in terms of gun violence, and someone comes along to pour gasoline on it for attention, distraction, self importance, and self interest to fulfill some political narrative they have.
Just sayin'

An Aunt Thomasina republican politician got capped?
Well, it's not Clarence Thomas, but I suppose it's a start.
