Authorities haven’t given any indication whether they suspect a motive, or have a person of interest identified. No arrest has been announced, and it’s unclear if a killer remains on the loose.

“As it turns out, they were very good at what they did, and by keeping distractions away from the investigation or people interjecting into it, they were able to unravel an extraordinary complex case and make a very good arrest,” Skarzynski said.

“But I cannot imagine a scenario where the prosecutor of Middlesex County would know of any danger to the public and would not share it appropriately with the public,” he said. “I cannot even conceive that.” The prosecutor’s office has said this much: Police responded to a call of gunshots shortly before 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, near a road called Samuel Circle — the area of the La Mer townhome development where Dwumfour lived.

Councilmember Vincent Conti — who’d been the governing body’s public safety liaison before Dwumfour took over that role in 2022 and was reappointed to it in January — said he’s spoken to borough police and feels assured they’re doing a thorough job — “they’re turning over every stone.” The councilman, who sat next to Dwumfour during meetings, said he expects any release of information to be “carefully calculated” to avoid tipping off suspects or otherwise harming the case.
