Former Trump Administration official Mike Gill has died after being shot in front of his wife during a carjacking in Washington DC.
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
