Horrific Murder Shocks Romania: Pregnant Young Mother Gunned Down by Ex-Lover in Front of 3-Year-Old Daughter

Cosmopolis residence, near Bucharest. A peaceful Saturday evening turned into a nightmare as Teodora Marcu, a young mother of 23, pregnant with her second child, was brutally shot four times by her ex-lover, right in front of her terrified 3-year-old daughter.

The chilling attack happened inside a bustling mall complex in Cosmopolis, a quiet residential area near Bucharest. Eyewitnesses say Robert Wolf, 49, stalked Teodora calmly before suddenly blocking her path and firing multiple shots at her abdomen without warning. The horror unfolded in broad daylight, leaving shoppers frozen in terror.

Surveillance cameras also captured the tragedy in the residential complex.

Teodora, who was 26 weeks pregnant, fought for her life but tragically died later that evening at Floreasca Emergency Hospital, Bucharest.

The heartless killer, who was NOT licensed to carry a firearm, fled the scene but was quickly tracked down by police. In a final act of desperation, Wolf reportedly turned the gun on himself and died as officers closed in.

The motive? Jealousy and obsession. Hours before the murder, Wolf posted a cryptic and chilling message on social media, hinting at the deadly rage that would soon explode.

Teodora was no stranger to the spotlight — she appeared on the popular Romanian reality TV show Insula Iubirii (Love Island) season 6. She had recently shared her joy about expecting her second child. Now, her promising life has been cut brutally short, leaving behind a grieving family and a 3-year-old who witnessed the horror firsthand.

This savage killing has sent shockwaves through Cosmopolis and all of Romania. Residents are demanding answers: How did a man with no legal firearm permit get hold of a gun? Why wasn’t Teodora protected from this violent ex?

The tragedy shines a harsh spotlight on the ongoing epidemic of domestic violence and the urgent need for stronger protections for vulnerable women and children.

As the investigation continues, the community mourns a young mother’s life stolen in cold blood — and prays justice will finally be served.
