Governor Phil Murphy today ordered that U.S. and New Jersey flags fly at half-staff at all state buildings and facilities on Wednesday, February 8, 2023, to honor and remember Sayreville Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour who was shot and killed last week outside her home.

“It is with deep sadness that we mourn the passing of Eunice Dwumfour,” said Governor Murphy. “Her death is a tragic loss for her family, friends, the Sayreville community, and our state. Tammy and I continue to pray for her loved ones and those who were fortunate enough to know her as they grieve during this difficult time. Our flags will fly at half-staff on Wednesday to honor her on the day of her memorial.”
