Former President Trump administration member Mike Gill recently died from injuries he sustained after he was carjacked in Washington, D.C., Fox News has learned.
Gill, who served as chief of staff at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), was sitting in his vehicle on Monday night, when a suspect entered his car and shot him. The incident happened in the 900 block of K Street NW at around 5:45 p.m.
Police have identified the suspect as Artell Cunningham, 28. Authorities say that Cunningham tried stealing another vehicle around an hour later, and then approached others and demanded their keys.
One of those people was Alberto Vasquez, Jr., 35, who Cunningham is accused of shooting and killing in a carjacking at 3rd and N Streets Northeast. Cunningham was later shot and killed by law enforcement.
Gill secured the GOP nomination for the District of Columbia Board of Elections in 2016.
By July 2020, he had completed three terms and received recognition from the city council for his contributions to the community.
In addition to being the chief of staff at the CFTC, Gill oversaw an agency-wide evaluation of regulations as the chief regulatory reform officer.
Gill’s wife, Kristina, announced her husband’s passing.
