A New Jersey city council member has been shot outside her home after police say she was the “intended target” of the shooting.
Eunice Dwumfour, 30, was found dead in her white Nissan SUV after it crashed near her home on Point of Wood Drive in New Jersey.
The Republican counselwoman was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses claim the suspected gunman was seen running away from Camelot in the La Mer apartment complex, with no further details.
Authorities say the counselor who worked for a Nigeria-based church group was the intended target, but have not given a motive.

Dwumfour ousted the incumbent Democrat in the Borough of Sayreville in November 2021, in a landslide election victory, and was not up for re-election until 2024.
Currently, no arrests have been made in the case as Sayreville Police and Middlesex County officials investigate the incident.
Friends of the councilor paid tribute to her as a “great friend” who “loved God.”
Detective Juan Rodriguez and Reverend Doctor Nelia Rodriguez posted online saying, “I just saw her at the store this morning.
“I remember telling her, I’ll see you tomorrow at the HRC meeting, not knowing that tonight would be the end of her life.
