UK Daily Mail: 

A New Jersey Councilwoman has been gunned down outside of her home and 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 mother-of-one was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses claim that the suspected gunman was spotted racing away from the Camelot at La Mer apartment complex, and a 911 call was placed at 7.22pm. 

Authorities say that the councilwoman, who worked for a Nigerian-based church group, was the intended target – but have not given a motive.
