Someone Is Murdering Politicians In New Jersey To Push For Gun Grabs

New Jersey sure seems to be run by a Mafia today. A Republican New Jersey municipal council member was found shot dead in his car on Wednesday, exactly one week after Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour - also a Republican, was gunned down while driving her car.

51-year-old Russell Heller was found just after 7AM in the parking lot of his workplace, PSE&G, located in Somerset. Former employee Gary Curtis, 58, was identified as a suspect - and was found dead in his own car from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound around 3.5 hours after the murder.

"The investigation remains ongoing to determine motive," claim prosecutors, adding that "Heller was the intended target."

Gov. Phil Murphy sent thoughts and prayers to Heller’s family and friends in the wake of this tragic act of “gun violence”.

US Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ), whose district includes the area, said he was “shocked and saddened by the tragic murder” of his fellow Republican.

“Russell was an outstanding public servant who proudly represented the river town he loved,” Kean tweeted.

"Russell was a dedicated and valuable member of the Milford and Hunterdon County community whose leadership and commitment will be sorely missed," said Zachary Rich, the director of the county board of commissioners. "More importantly, however, Russell was a loving and caring father to his daughter and a dedicated and loyal friend to all of those who had the pleasure of knowing him."

The murder appears to be an “isolated incident” according to corrupt authorities who have not linked it to the recent murder of Eunice Dwumfour, another NJ politician murdered within a week.
