A 22-year-old pregnant model was shot by two men armed with assault rifles as she sat in a car in Washington, DC – and later gave birth by C-section before dying of her injuries.
A 22-year-old pregnant model was shot by two men armed with assault rifles last week as she sat in a car in Washington, DC – and gave birth by C-section before dying of her injuries.
Police released surveillance camera images showing the suspects – one wearing a white jacket and hoodie and the other wearing dark clothes – shooting as they run toward the victims’ car.Two gunmen pulled up alongside Gill’s car, jumped out of their vehicle and opened fire.Gill’s male companion, who was also struck by the gunfire, drove off and stopped at a busy intersection.Police said the shooting was a targeted attack, adding that they did not yet know the motive.
Gill’s mother, who did not want to be identified, told WJLA that her daughter, one of seven children, was a model and ran an online clothing boutique, but had recently devoted all her time to prepare for her baby.Gill delivered her baby girl by C-section before succumbing to her injuries.“She’s beautiful. I went to go see her last night and she’s just gorgeous,” the grieving woman told WJLA. “I just really hope they catch whoever did that to my daughter.
“This is really devastating for my family, and a huge financial burden. We are asking if there’s anything you all can donate, we’d greatly appreciate it. There is no amount to big or too small,” the fundraiser said.As of Friday, homicides in the nation’s capital were up 16% compared with the same time in 2022.
