The mystery has officially begun! Days of Our Lives just delivered one of its most explosive twists yet, leaving Salem in turmoil. EJ DiMera has been shot, and now twelve suspects are under intense scrutiny. Was this a premeditated act, a crime of passion, or something even more sinister? As the investigation unfolds, secrets will be exposed, alliances will shift, and the shocking truth will leave everyone stunned.

First, let’s talk about Kristen DiMera—a woman who thrives in chaos. Known for her manipulative ways, Kristen has lied, kidnapped, and even gone to extreme lengths to protect what’s hers. When EJ took Rachel from her, it wasn’t just an insult—it was a declaration of war. But would she risk losing her daughter for revenge? Kristen is ruthless, but she’s also calculated. The question is, has she finally snapped?

Next, there’s Rafe Hernandez, a man whose life was nearly destroyed thanks to EJ’s scheming. Framed and humiliated, Rafe lost everything while EJ continued to bask in luxury. With nothing left to lose, could Rafe have decided it was time for justice—on his own terms? Revenge can be blinding, and Rafe has every reason to want EJ out of the picture for good.

Then, we have Jada Hunter, a cop whose integrity was put on the line thanks to EJ’s interference in Rafe’s case. Professionally and personally, her world has been turned upside down. With her job in jeopardy and her emotions running high, could Jada have taken matters into her own hands? Fear and desperation can make people do the unthinkable.

Gabby Hernandez is another prime suspect. She has a long, turbulent history with EJ, filled with betrayals and power struggles. She’s pulled a gun on him before—could this time have been different? Gabby is no stranger to revenge, but is she being set up, or did she finally have enough of EJ’s control?

Johnny DiMera, EJ’s own son, has also been caught in the web of family turmoil. EJ’s interference in his adoption plans with Chanel was the final straw. The resentment between father and son has been simmering for months. Did Johnny finally reach his breaking point, taking out years of frustration with one devastating act?

Chanel Dupree has watched Johnny suffer under EJ’s thumb. Their dream of adopting a child was shattered by EJ’s manipulation, leaving Chanel heartbroken. She’s always been protective, but could she have taken a drastic step to ensure Johnny never suffered at his father’s hands again?

Paulina Price, Chanel’s mother, is fiercely protective. Seeing her daughter and Johnny in pain was unbearable. EJ’s power moves have hurt too many people close to her. Could Paulina have decided enough was enough and taken a stand, ensuring EJ never hurt her family again?

Kate Roberts Brady is another formidable player in this mystery. She’s survived betrayal, power struggles, and even near-death experiences. But when EJ threatened her family, he crossed a dangerous line. Kate doesn’t fold under pressure—she plots. Could she have decided to eliminate the threat before he struck again?

Roman Brady, the quiet but strategic protector, has been watching EJ manipulate and destroy lives for years. Could he have decided it was time for EJ to finally pay for his crimes? Roman isn’t impulsive, but he is methodical. If he was involved, no one would see it coming.

Belle Black’s entanglement with EJ left her emotionally wrecked. Manipulated and humiliated, she carries deep scars from their past. Did she finally decide to take control in the most final way possible?

Shawn Brady has had enough of EJ’s games. After watching his loved ones suffer at EJ’s hands, could he have taken matters into his own hands? Justice and vengeance are two sides of the same coin—was this his moment to tip the scales?

Finally, there’s Ava Vitali. She didn’t fire the shot, but she had the gun—one that mysteriously ended up in the wrong hands. With Melinda Trask lurking in the shadows, is Ava hiding something, or is she being used as a distraction from the real shooter?

Twelve suspects. Twelve motives. A tangled web of lies, betrayal, and revenge. But here’s the twist—what if the shooter isn’t on this list at all? Days of Our Lives is known for its shocking surprises, and there’s a strong possibility a 13th suspect will emerge—someone no one ever suspected.

One thing is certain: EJ survives. But the physical and emotional scars will leave Salem reeling. The fallout will shake the town to its core, and the truth, when revealed, will change everything. Who shot EJ DiMera? Stay tuned—because in Days of Our Lives, the truth is never simple, and sometimes the most innocent face hides the darkest secrets.
