Frankye Duckett, a 49-year-old MTA mobility van driver who also worked for the Baltimore City Schools Police, was shot and killed on January 29, 2021, while on duty in northeast Baltimore. Duckett was inside his MTA bus in the 4400 block of Moravia Road, having just dropped off a passenger, when someone approached and opened fire. Video from the bus showed a beige Buick pull up, a passenger exit, walk to the driver’s side, and begin shooting; the shooter then climbed through a shattered window and continued firing before fleeing in the Buick.

Police identified two suspects in the case: Marquis Poteat, described as the shooter, and Ernest Ford, identified as the driver of the getaway vehicle. The shooting reportedly followed an earlier argument that day when Duckett picked up Poteat’s grandmother.

Did anyone in the Moravia Road area see the beige Buick or have information about the argument earlier that day?
