"Former Trump Official Mike Gill Dies in Record-Setting DC Carjacking Spree"

Carjackings in Washington, D.C., continue at a record-setting pace in 2024, with 56 reported so far this year, including the deadly attack on former Trump official Mike Gill. The surge follows a doubling of carjackings in 2023, with high-profile victims including U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar and a diplomat from the United Arab Emirates. Mayor Muriel Bowser has attributed the rise to a social media challenge and offered free steering wheel locks to prevent crimes. The majority of carjacking arrests involve juveniles, and the city also saw a surge in homicides in 2023.
