Teodora Marcu, a 23-year-old reality TV star who was 26 weeks pregnant, was shot and killed in broad daylight while walking with her young daughter in Bucharest. Surveillance footage showed 49-year-old Robert Lupu pulling a gun from a laptop bag and shooting her three times—once in the chest and twice in the abdomen.
Lupu, a convicted felon known as “Wolf,” had a history of theft and pimping. After the attack, he fled the scene and later died by suicide before police could arrest him. Authorities revealed he was carrying two unlicensed guns.

Marcu had previously reported Lupu—her ex-boyfriend—for stalking and threats. Friends say she lived in constant fear. He even allegedly threatened to harm her unborn child after learning about the pregnancy during her time on Temptation Island.
The Cosmopolis neighborhood is grieving. Candles now mark the site of the murder. Despite repeated cries for help, Marcu received no protection. Her tragic death has sparked outrage and calls for justice.
