D.C. Carjacking Suspect Previously Arrested on Felony Charges
2nd February 2024
The suspect in a carjacking incident that left a former Trump administration official with life-threatening injuries this week was previously arrested on multiple felony charges that were later dropped by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the District of Columbia.
Artell Cunningham, 28, was shot and killed by police officers after an alleged string of violent carjacking incidents, including shooting and killing 35-year-old Alberto Vasquez Jr., and shooting former Commodity Futures Trading Commission employee Mike Gill in the head, causing “life-threatening injuries,” according to police.
The Washington Examiner reported that Cunningham was arrested in January 2021 after attempting to enter an apartment where his siblings were inside at the time. He reportedly became “physically aggressive with officers” when they prevented him from entering the unit and was subsequently arrested.
