Sergeant Daniel Scott Baker, 32, a 10-year veteran of the Dickson County Sheriff’s Office and a former U.S. Marine, was shot and killed on May 30, 2018 while responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle in Dickson County, Tennessee. Body camera footage from Baker’s uniform recorded the traffic stop and the shooting; the video shows the driver opening fire with a pistol. Fellow deputies lost contact with Baker, later finding his patrol car several miles away with his body inside.

The shooting prompted a two-day manhunt for the primary suspect, Steven Wiggins, who was captured in a rural area within two miles of the shooting site and appeared dehydrated and possibly coming off drugs. A woman who had been in the vehicle, Erika Castro-Miles, was also taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder. Wiggins was tried; a jury found him guilty of premeditated first-degree murder, arson, and abuse of a corpse, and he was sentenced to death.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about the vehicle, the stop, or activity around that rural area on May 30, 2018 who has not yet spoken to investigators?
