The family of slain NJ Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour is still awaiting the latest police information

The father of Eunice Dwumfour, the New Jersey City Councilwoman who was gunned down near her home in Sayreville last week in what appears to be a targeted murder, said Tuesday morning his family was still in the dark about who shot his daughter and why.

He also said authorities are yet to offer updates on suspects, leads they are pursuing or leads they have received.

“We haven’t heard anything yet,” Eunice’s father, Prince Dwumfour, told the Post when asked if the police had informed him of the case.

In the six full days since Dwumfour’s bullet-riddled body was found slumped behind the wheel of her white Nissan SUV, neither local police nor the Middlesex County Attorney’s Office have revealed to the public where the investigation stands.

Prosecutors did not respond to multiple inquiries from The Post as to whether police had any suspects or whether the killer was at large and posed a danger to the public. A spokesman said there was “no news to report at this time” because “the matter is still being investigated.”

Over the weekend, a Sayreville Police Department Facebook post asked about local residents who had security camera footage of the Camelot at La Mer complex where she lived between 6:30pm and 8pm from February 1

The Post also said police are looking for anyone who may have dash cam footage of their driving down three roads – Ernston Road, Gondek Drive or Point of Woods Drive – during the same hours.

Meanwhile, the councilwoman’s new husband made another cryptic Facebook post on Monday, calling his late wife an “angel” and saying she promised to see him by May.

“I know you breathe through me. I will continue to celebrate you as I promised I missed you my love,” wrote Eze Kings, Dwumfour’s Nigerian pastor husband.

A memorial service will be held at Epic Church International in Sayreville on Wednesday evening. New Jersey Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin is expected to speak with Sayreville Mayor Victoria Kilpatrick and a family representative.

Authorities have not publicly speculated about the motive for the killing.

During a radio appearance on WNYC last Thursday, Garden State Gov. Phil Murphy said the single mother’s murder did not appear to be politically motivated.

Still, Murphy said it felt “very specific.”

“Unfortunately, very little is known right now,” Murphy said in his weekly meet-up with the radio show, according to NJ.com. “It appears to have nothing to do with her position as councilwoman-elect in Sayreville.”

Dwumfour, a 30-year-old Republican, was elected in November 2021 after upsetting the incumbent Democrat.

A witness told the Post that the gunman hit Dwumfour’s car with about a dozen shots. This was aided by the police markings photographed around the car.

Investigators have told the Post that a video camera caught Dwumfour talking to the gunman shortly before she died.

Some locals told RLS Media that the shooter was seen speeding toward the Garden State Parkway. Later, about 20 Sayreville police officers were seen combing the sides of a Garden State Parkway exit toward the Jon Bon Jovi Service Area, looking for evidence.

The FBI is also supporting the investigation, an agency official said, although their role in the investigation of the crime is not yet known.
