Breaking: Officials are announcing an arrest in the killing of Sayreville, N.J. City Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour. Watch live:

"I saw a man shooting into the driver's side of a white vehicle three times," a 911 caller said."The person in that driver's side car is probably not alive."In an interview, Dwumfour's 12-year-old daughter, Nicole Teliano, said she thought she was hearing fireworks.

"We were waiting for my mom to look for a parking space, and then she was taking a lot of time. So we started calling her over and over again, but it wouldn't pick up. And then we heard gunshots, and we started calling the police," she said. Born to Ghanaian parents, Dwumfour graduated from William Paterson University in 2017. Four years later, she became the first Black person elected to a Sayreville council seat.

"Eunice is no harm to nobody. Nobody. That's why we want justice for her because I don't understand," said Mary Dwumfour, Eunice's mother."There is no idea that they're aware of as to who wanted to see her dead, what motive they may have had," the family's attorney, John Wisniewski, said at the time.Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.
