Eunice Dwumfour, 30, a Republican and Alderman from Sayreville, Dwumfour, was shot to death outside her home about 15 miles away in a van. Her murder has not been solved. The crimes have not been linked by authorities, however, and the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office said Heller's murder appeared to be an "isolated incident", the New York Post reported. "
An investigation is underway to determine a motive," the prosecution said, emphasizing that "the intended target was Heller." “There was a fatal shooting outside a PSE&G facility in Franklin Township early this morning. Following this horrible gun violence act, our thoughts and prayers are with Russell Heller's family and friends. Gov. Phil Murphy offered his condolences to the family.
“We are devastated by the tragic death of Russell Heller, Senior Distribution Manager at PSE&G. Russell was an admired employee and supervisor with over 11 years of service at PSE&G," PSE&G wrote on Twitter. We all miss him terribly, and at this terrible moment, our sympathies are with his family.
This event is tragic and disturbing and we are offering support to our staff in processing it. We are cooperating with law enforcement as they investigate." Upon learning of Heller's death, the mayor of Milford Borough said the community was "shocked".
"He was so full of life it's unbelievable he's gone," Mayor Henri Schepens said in a statement posted on the Milford Merchants Association's Facebook page. "Milford City Council is deeply saddened by this loss and we share the pain of his family," Schepens said. “Something like this has never happened before in the history of the commune. We are very shocked by this."
