Mike Gill, 56, was shot on K Street NW in Washington, D.C., on Monday, January 29, 2024, after a stranger unexpectedly climbed into his Jeep while he waited to pick up his wife from her law office. He was found critically wounded with a foot still inside the vehicle, taken to a local hospital and remained in critical condition for several days.

Gill died of his injuries on Saturday, February 3, 2024. Investigators identified 28-year-old Artell Cunningham as the shooter; Cunningham’s attack on Gill was the opening act of an hours-long spree that crossed into Maryland, during which Cunningham attempted another carjacking, fatally shot Alberto Vasquez Jr., stole a vehicle, carried out additional carjackings and fired on two police cars.

Cunningham was confronted by New Carrollton police in Lanham, Maryland, in the pre-dawn hours of January 30 and was shot and killed by officers. Authorities later said they believed Cunningham may have been experiencing a mental health crisis. If anyone knew Mike Gill or saw activity on K Street NW that evening, please share what was seen.
