Ex-Trump official shot in DC carjacking passes away
Former Trump Administration Official Dies After Carjacking Incident
A tragic incident unfolded in Washington as a former Trump administration official, Mike Gill, lost his life at the age of 56. Gill, who served as chief of staff for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, was shot during a carjacking on Monday and succumbed to his injuries on Saturday.
Gill’s wife, Kristina Gill, expressed her profound sadness in a statement, saying, “His sudden departure has left a void in our lives that can never be filled.” She also expressed gratitude for the support they have received from their loved ones and the community.
The carjacking took place at the intersection of 9th and K Streets in Washington’s Northwest quadrant. The suspect, Artell Cunningham, allegedly entered Gill’s parked car and shot him while he was in the driver’s seat.
Cunningham went on to commit several more carjackings in Washington, D.C., and suburban Maryland before being fatally shot by the police in New Carrollton. Tragically, Gill is the second victim of Cunningham’s rampage, as he also fatally shot Alberto Vasquez Jr. on the same night.
