Baltimore police

BALTIMORE (AP) – Governor Larry Hogan has announced that the state will offer a $100-thousand reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the death of a Baltimore homicide detective.

Police Commissioner Kevin Davis announced yesterday that officer Sean Suiter had died of a gunshot wound to the head after conducting an investigation into a 2016 homicide on the west side of Baltimore.

Davis also said another reward has been offered for information on the killer totaling $69-thousand.

The 43-year-old Suiter was shot on Wednesday when he saw a man whom he recognized.

As he approached him Suiter was shot in a confrontation with the man.

Davis says that the suspect may also have been sounded.

Suiter is an 18 year veteran of the force and a former naval officer.

He was also a father of five.
