The entire nation of Romania is in shock following the tragic murder of a 23-year-old pregnant woman, Teodora Marcu. The heinous crime occurred on Saturday (01.06.2025) when her 49-year-old ex-partner, a taxi driver, shot her multiple times in front of her young daughter. Teodora, who was four months pregnant and known nationwide for her participation in a reality TV show, was struck by four bullets to the chest and abdomen before collapsing lifeless on the street.
Despite having filed restraining orders against him due to his dangerous behavior, tragically, these measures proved insufficient. Security camera footage captured the horrifying incident as Teodora walked with her daughter and another woman. The attacker approached her and fired several shots, leaving her bleeding on the road.
Her friend quickly took the child to safety and called for help, but despite medical efforts, Teodora succumbed to her injuries. After committing the crime, the perpetrator fled but was eventually located by Romanian authorities. In police custody, the 49-year-old took his own life.
This shocking event has left the community reeling and sparked discussions about domestic violence prevention and protection measures.
