MailOnline 4 FEB 2024
Former Trump Administration official Mike Gill has died after being shot in front of his wife during a carjacking in Washington DC.
Artell Cunningham shot dead by cops hours later, after many other carjackings
Gill, a married father of three, was shot by Artell Cunningham on K Street NW about 5.45pm last Monday and died in hospital on Saturday.
He was collecting his wife, an education lawyer, when he was shot inside the car by the attacker. He stumbled outside the vehicle and collapsed.
Gill's wife rushed over to him and held his hand as he lay bleeding on the ground with one foot still inside the car, his right hand twitching.
He served as chief operating officer of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission during Donald Trump's time in the White House.
Cunningham, 28, was hours later gunned down by two New Carrollton Police officers on the northeast outskirts of DC's Maryland suburbs.
Police cornered him about 4.30am on Tuesday, after his crime spree that also killed Alberto Vasquez Jr, 35, in a separate DC carjacking 90 minutes after Gill was shot.
Gill was the first victim of Cunningham's campaign of terror, and just minutes later at 7.05pm he tried to carjack another motorist on 3rd Street NE, but failed.
Then at 7.17pm he shot Vasquez at 3rd Street and N Street and stole his car, which was later found in Takoma Park.
Cunningham committed more carjacking around DC and its suburbs, including bashing a taxi driver in the head with his gun and stealing his car in University Park in Prince George's County, Maryland, at 11.23pm.
Then about 2.30am he shot the windscreen of a Maryland State Police trooper's car, and about 3am sprayed the door of a DC Police officer's car bullets as he drove past.
Christopher Giancarlo, which was chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, when Gill worked there, also paid tribute.
'Mike Gill was one of the most wonderful, honest, earnest, and open-hearted persons on this earth,' he said.
'His life reflects everything that is good and right and true. Words cannot express the tragedy of the loss of this fine man, colleague, and cherished friend. He will be sorely missed and long remembered.'
After Trump lost the 2020 election, Gill was senior vice president for capital markets at the Housing Policy Council.
Drew Maloney, Gill's friend of 15 years and president of the American Investment Council, said he was like an extended member of their family.
'Our daughters' friendship blossomed into a beautiful bond, and it was a testament to Mike's warmth and kindness that he welcomed us into his life with open arms,' he said.
'Through countless holidays, celebrations, and shared moments, our families became intertwined, and I am so grateful for our enduring friendship.'
AND Not ONE word of condolence from TRUMP
