Sayreville, N.J.: A New Jersey borough councilwoman was found shot to death in an SUV outside of her home, authorities said.

Sayreville Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour, 30, was found about 7:20 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Middlesex County prosecutor’s office. She had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Dwumfour, a Republican, was elected to her first three-year term in 2021, when she ousted a Democratic incumbent. Colleagues recalled her as a soft-spoken devout Christian who could maintain her composure in contentious situations.
