Mike Gill, a well-known Republican figure and former COO of the CFTC under Donald Trump’s administration, was severely injured during a violent carjacking in Washington, D.C. on Monday evening.
ABC7 News stated that the incident occurred at around 5:45 pm when Gill was waiting in his vehicle near his wife’s workplace located on K Street, which is near the White House.
According to a spokesperson for the Gill family, Erica Richardson, it has been confirmed that Mike Gill was the individual who sustained gunshot wounds at the 900 block of K Street Northwest on Monday evening. At present, he is in critical condition.
Yolanda Douglas, an eyewitness, recounted the terrifying scene when Gill’s wife discovered him injured after he had called her downstairs. “Oh my God, that’s my husband,” she exclaimed upon finding him.
Following the shooting of Gill, the assailant continued to carry out multiple carjackings and one attempted carjacking.
Tragically, one of these incidents resulted in another victim’s death. The carjacking spree eventually led law enforcement to Prince George’s County, Maryland.
It was there that they confronted the suspect.
Engaging in a shootout with Maryland State Police, the individual was ultimately killed by the police. Later on, authorities identified the victim as 35-year-old Alberto Vasquez Jr.
