Baltimore detective who was shot and killed was set to testify against corrupt cops
The Baltimore detective who was fatally shot, was to testify in front of the federal grand jury in a case against indicted officers.
Sean Suiter, the Baltimore detective who was shot and killed, was to testify in front of the federal grand jury in a case against a squad of indicted officers on the day after he was shot, authorities said.
Baltimore detective Suiter was purportedly a witness
Suiter, 43, an 18-year-old veteran of the force, was investigating a killing in west Baltimore on November 15, when he saw a man displaying suspicious behaviors, police said. Suiter died the next day at a hospital.
The revelation certainly brings shock waves to the Baltimore community.
Eight police officers of the gun task force face federal prosecution.
They are accused of shaking down citizens and conspiring with drug dealers, and the killing of Suiter, the first on-duty officer killed in 10 years by a suspect.
Baltimore detective Suiter involvement
Baltimore police commissioner Kevin Davis, said federal authorities told him under “no uncertain terms” that Suiter was a target of their investigation into the Gun Trace Task Force. He said authorities have no reason to believe Suiter’s killing was connected to his pending testimony.
“The BPD and FBI do not possess any information that this incident … is part of any conspiracy,” Davis said. He said evidence shows the shooting occurred spontaneously, as Suiter investigated a suspicious person in the Harlem Park neighborhood.
“There is no information that has been communicated to me that Detective Suiter was anything other than a stellar detective, great friend, loving husband and dedicated father,” he said.
Though authorities have said the killing is not connected, the coincidental events definitely leaves a myriad of questions.
Information leading to Baltimore detective Suiter murder case
Suiter was shot in the head at close range, and authorities say there was no evidence of a struggle. Police have not identified a suspect(s) or made an arrest into the November 15th shooting.
Authorities are offering a reward of $215,000 for information leading to an arrest.
