On the evening of November 18, 1985, 24-year-old Baltimore City Police Officer Vincent J. Adolfo was killed while on patrol. Officer Adolfo spotted a Cadillac with a missing window covered in plastic, ran the plate and learned the car had been reported stolen. He began following the vehicle and called for backup. Responding officers set up a roadblock; the driver, later identified as Flint Gregory Hunt, jumped from the moving car and fled. The driverless Cadillac struck a patrol car and three passengers were taken into custody.

Officer Adolfo chased Hunt into an alley. Hunt at first stopped and allowed Adolfo to approach, but then resisted and produced a .357 Magnum, shooting the officer in the chest and again in the back. Adolfo was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital and pronounced dead at 6:00 p.m. Flint Gregory Hunt was later identified as the prime suspect, arrested in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and returned to Baltimore to face charges.

Does anyone have memories of Officer Adolfo, the crime scene, or the events that night that could add detail to the record?
