Detective Sean Suiter, 43, an 18-year veteran of the Baltimore Police Department, was shot while canvassing a vacant lot in West Baltimore and died at a hospital on November 16, 2017. He had been investigating a homicide with his partner and was a husband and father of five. His service weapon was recovered under his body and his DNA was found inside the barrel of the gun.

Suiter had been scheduled to testify before a federal grand jury the next day in the investigation of the Gun Trace Task Force, a corrupt unit within the department. Police launched a large manhunt and described a suspect as an African American man wearing a black jacket with a white stripe; a reward of over $200,000 was offered. No arrests or persons of interest were produced.

An Independent Review Board concluded Suiter’s death was a suicide staged to appear as a homicide, while the state medical examiner ruled it a homicide. Suiter’s family disputed the suicide finding. Does anyone have information about Suiter’s last canvass or the man described by police that night?
