"There are no answers yet as to how this happened? Who's responsible? What was the motive?" said former Assemblyman and Sayreville native John Wisniewski.
Dwumfour's parents and siblings hired Wisniewski as their attorney. The family has been frustrated by the investigation's slow progress. Wisniewski said investigators have promised to meet with the family this upcoming week.
Parishioners at the funeral prayed for a break in the case and for Dwumfour's killer to be finally unmasked.
The service took place on what would have been Dwumfour's 31st birthday.
