A case that began as a reported single-vehicle crash in Millersville, Maryland, was reclassified as a homicide after investigators found 46-year-old Seydou Alassane Ba of Gaithersburg dead in the driver’s seat of his car on the 8300 block of Williamstowne Drive. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled Ba’s death a homicide, the cause listed as a gunshot wound.

Anne Arundel County detectives determined Ba had been working as an unlicensed cab driver and had been lured to Millersville by a potential fare. After executing search warrants and conducting interviews, investigators identified a person of interest and interviewed 21-year-old Shupelle Rattim Gunter of Baltimore; Gunter admitted to shooting Ba following an argument and was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and handgun violations. The investigation remained active after the arrest.

If anyone knew Ba’s work as an unlicensed driver or saw him in Millersville around the time of the incident, can you share information with detectives?
