A pregnant reality TV star was shot dead in front of her young daughter in a horrific street attack in Romania.
Teodora Marcu, 23, was shot four times while out walking with her young daughter and her cousin on the outskirts of Bucharest at around 7pm on Saturday night.
The young woman, who was 26 weeks pregnant at the time, was killed by former partner Robert Lupu, Antena 3 CNN reports.
The taxi driver from Onești, 49, was alleged to have shot Marcu with a pistol before shooting himself with another handgun hours later, judicial sources told Libertatea.
Witnesses told local media that Lupu had followed his former partner, approaching calmly before pulling out a weapon and shooting her from close range.
Marcu was taken to hospital, but doctors were unable to save her life.
The young woman rose to fame as a contestant on a Romanian version of ‘Love Island’ broadcast in 2022.
She had spoken out about her strained on-off relationship with Lupu and took out a protection order against him in 2021.
Teodora and partner Alex Marcu announced they were expecting a child only in April, despite doctors telling them she would not be able to conceive, A1 reports.
She would have given birth to a son.
