Artell Cunningham ( born 1996 – aged 28 ) has been identified as the serial carjacker behind the murder of former Trump official Mike Gill.
He was arrested over a car crash in 2023.
Cunningham was memorialized by his sister Atia La’Shae, who replied ‘yes, very much so’ to a friend who wrote ‘he will be missed’ on her post.
Jeffery Carroll, the assistant chief of DC police, said Cunningham had a criminal history and appeared to be going through a mental health crisis at the time.
Arrest records indicate Cunningham was arrested on April 8, 2021, for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, obstructing officers, and failing to obey police instructions.
Then on September 24, 2022, he was arrested for driving an uninsured vehicle and fleeing the scene of a car accident he was involved in.
What happened
Artell Cunningham was gunned down by police about 4.30am last Tuesday after he carjacked numerous vehicles and killed two people.
His first victim was Gill, a married father of three who was shot on K Street NW in Washington DC about 5.45pm last Monday and died in hospital on Saturday.
Gill served as chief operating officer of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission during Donald Trump’s time in the White House.
Cunningham just 90 minutes later shot dead father-of-two Alberto Vasquez Jr, 35, in a separate carjacking nearby, then stole more cars at gunpoint.
He was killed by two New Carrollton Police officers who cornered him on the northeast outskirts of DC’s Maryland suburbs.
