<p>Mike Gill, an accomplished Republican professional who served as chief operating officer of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) during the Donald Trump administration, died on Saturday after being shot during a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vicious carjacking</a> spree in Washington, D.C., on Monday night, one that ended in police killing the perpetrator in Maryland early Tuesday morning.</p>
<p>“It is with profound sadness that I wish to inform the community of the passing of my husband, Mike Gill,” his wife, Kristina Gill, said in a statement Saturday night.</p>
<p>“His sudden departure has left a void in our lives that can never be filled. In this time of grief, we are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from family, friends, and the community, and extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has reached out to offer condolences and assistance,” she added. “Thank you for respecting our privacy as we mourn the loss of an incredible man,” she added.</p>
<p>Gill was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-official-shot-in-dc-in-critical-condition-after-carjacking-rampage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gunned down</a> after being shot while picking up his wife, an education lawyer, blocks from the White House on K Street in downtown D.C. at 5:45 p.m.</p>
<p>Police shot and killed 28-year-old Artell Cunningham in connection with the violent carjacking spree. In 2021, Cunningham threatened police officers that he would have them all murdered if they did not release him following a domestic disturbance. He was charged with a felony for making the threats.</p>

<p>&#8220;His charges were quickly downgraded to misdemeanor threats to do bodily harm, on the same day of his arrest, per court records,&#8221; The Gazette <a href="https://gazette.com/news/wex/dc-carjacking-suspect-who-shot-trump-official-and-others-in-11-hour-crime-spree-had/article_4d68b7d8-fbc7-5599-90ae-e47cab5db373.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. &#8220;In February, the United States Attorney&#8217;s Office of the District of Columbia dropped the charges against Cunningham, and the case was closed. The U.S. attorney for D.C. at the time was interim U.S. attorney Michael R. Sherwin, who served until March 2021.&#8221;</p>
<p>Carjackings in D.C. more than doubled in 2023 to nearly 1,000. The crime spree in D.C. has seen an FBI agent carjacked, a Democrat congressman carjacked outside his apartment, and multiple congressional staffers assaulted. Three people attempted to carjack a Secret Service vehicle that was guarding the granddaughter of President Joe Biden.</p>
