The tragic final Instagram post of a gunned down reality star has become a place for followers to pay their respects. Teodora Marcu, who was 26 weeks pregnant, was fatally shot in the while holding her toddler in her arms.
She was murdered by her ex-boyfriend who then turned the gun on himself when cornered by the cops. Just weeks earlier, the reality TV star, 23, had posted an image of her smiling as she enjoyed a dining experience.
‌
Teodora was seen wearing a black blazer and black top as she sat at the table with the sun blazing behind her. Her hair was perfectly done and she wore a dazzling jewelled necklace for the occasion. She had a coffee in front of her and was seemingly awaiting her food.
‌
Among those sharing heartbreaking comments on the post was influencer Stefana Peev. Her post translated to: "It breaks my soul.. And I cry with the phone in my hand."
Another user wrote: "Breaks my heart. She became an angel to her daughter." And a third said: "heartbreaking," alongside a number of sad and broken heart emojis.
The TV star, 23, was carrying her three-year-old daughter in her arms when the suspected killer, named as Robert Lupu, 49, allegedly shot her at close range. She had broke off their relationship him when she found out he was lying about his marriage.
Reports suggest he had never accepted their relationship was over. She was fatally shot outside the Cosmopolis residential complex near the Romanian capital Bucharest on Saturday, May 31.
Teodora had rose to fame on a show similar to Love Island. The programme in her home country was called Insula Iubirii. She had been attending a kids' party with her cousin and her children prior to her death.
‌
The pair posted images of the party on social media just minutes before the attack happened. They left the party and went to purchase ice cream when Teofora was reportedly shot four times in the chest and abdomen. The relative helped her on the street and tried to console her young daughter.
The police said of the incident: "Two lethal firearms were found on the man, one of which he used to commit suicide.
"The two weapons were seized by specialists from the Weapons Service of the Ilfov County Police Inspectorate and we are still trying to determine their origin.'
Teodora was pregnant with her second child, who she had conceived with her partner Alexandru Marcu, an illusionist by profession, at the time of her death. She would have given birth to a son.
The investigation into her alleged murder is ongoing.
