Malcolm Mike Winffel, 45, was killed while intervening in an attempted carjacking at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, Maryland. On May 6, 2016, Winffel and another man stepped between a woman and a gunman; the shooter fired and fatally wounded Winffel in the chest. He was a married father of two.

The shooter, identified as 62-year-old Eulalio Tordil, had already killed his estranged wife the previous day and went on a violent spree. After killing Winffel and wounding the other Good Samaritan, Tordil fled, later killing another bystander during a separate attempted carjacking in Aspen Hill before being captured the same day.

In April 2017 Tordil pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder for the Montgomery County crimes and received four consecutive life sentences without parole.
