A person who used to work for Donald Trump has died after being shot during a carjacking.

In Trump’s time in office, Mike Gill was chairman of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission. On Monday night in Washington, DC, he was shot by a suspect who later stole several cars.

Gill was hurt very badly and had to be taken to the hospital.

The suspect got into his car, shot him, and then ran off. He was sitting in his car at the time.

Look at Yolando. She told The Washington Post that she saw Gill lying in a pool of blood on the sidewalk with one foot still in the car.

Douglas said that soon after, a woman yelled, “Oh my god, that’s my husband!” from a nearby building.

News station WTTG in the area reports that the Metropolitan Police Department thinks the suspect then stole a Chrysler 200 and killed the owner of the car.

The outlet says that two New Carrollton police officers shot and killed the suspect early Tuesday morning.

Gill’s wife told WTTG in a statement that he had died.

“It is with profound sadness that I wish to inform the community of the passing of my husband, Mike Gill,” he wrote.

“His sudden death has left a hole in our lives that must 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,” Kristina said.

“Mike loved being a husband and father, but he also loved being a son, brother, and friend.” Mike had a wonderful life where he brought people together and made them feel loved, supported, and included.

“His heart was evident in everything he did, as demonstrated by his mentorship and deep friendships with those who worked with him professionally,” she said.

Their three kids are Sean, Brian, and Annika. Gill is married to his wife.
