Former Trump administration official Mike Gill died Sunday after being shot during a carjacking spree in Washington, D.C., last Monday. He was 56.
“It is with profound sadness that I wish to inform the community of the passing of my husband, Mike Gill. His sudden departure has left a void in our lives that can never 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,” his wife Kristina Gill wrote in a statement that she shared with Fox 5.
Gill had previously worked as chief of staff of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission under former President Donald Trump and recently served as senior vice president for Capital Markets at the Housing Policy Council. He was the father of three children and a St. Louis native.
“His life reflected everything that is good and right and true,” former CFTC Chair J. Christopher Giancarlo said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “He will be sorely missed and long remembered.”
