Indictment vs. Baltimore PD "Elite" Gun Task Force is Telling - Sean Suiter's murder


**UPDATE** 
Officer Kevin Jenkins (BPD)





Another Baltimore PD officer indicted in connection with the Federal Grand Jury indictment is now facing additional charges that he planted "a cache of heroin" inside a car during a 2010 arrest. Suiter was "set up" to find the 
     planted narcotics, according to Police Commissioner Davis.  Suiter had no
     involvement in the bogus arrest. What another black eye for the BPD. Now 
     we may be getting somewhere.  Suiter was allegedly set to testify about 
     the planted drugs and former Sgt. Kevin Jenkins would be disgraced. 
     Planting evidence is a BIG DEAL in law enforcement.  Motive?  Maybe. 
     This thing just gets worse and worse the more you read into it.



I've got a nagging feeling that Detective Sean Suiter was gunned down with his own weapon the day before he was to appear before a Federal Grand Jury to give testimony against several of his fellow officers.  The likelihood of this being a random crime seems minuscule. Here are the names of the indicted officers - you will need them later when we review the indictment details:


  • 32 year old Detective Momodu Bondoven Kenton Gondo, (aka "GMoney" and "Mike") - hired by BPD in 2005.  Never a good sign when your detective has a monikor like "GMoney".
  • 47 year old Detective Daniel Thomas Hersl - hired in 1999
  • 36 year old Sgt. Wayne Earl Jenkins - hired in 2003
  • 30 year old Detective Marcus Roosevelt Taylor - hired in 2009
  • 32 year old Detective Evadio Calles Hendrix - hired in 2009
  • 36 year old Detective Maurice Kilpatrick Ward - hired in 2003
  • 36 year old Detective Jemell Lamar Rayam - hired in 2005
I believe there was an eight indicted officer but have not been able to find his name.  According to the Baltimore Sun, 49 year old Sgt. Thomas Allers was the other arrested officer. Hired in 1996, he was arrested on 9 counts of robbery and extortion.  What a mess the Baltimore PD has on it's hands.  What, if anything damaging did Detective Suiter know?  What's even more disgraceful is that Sgt Allers was a supervisor.  However, he is facing the same charges in the indictment of using his police power to steal from people and "enrich himself" according to WBALTV.

In a sickening example, Allers stands accused of using search warrants to search homes and stole money from the homeowner and shared the cash with his son who was with him.  The allegations against these "Elite" officers is just astounding.  Talk about total and complete abuse of power.  Part of the indictment claims the officers often recovered guns, drugs and money and failed to file police reports and kept the evidence for their own personal financial gain.

I'm now reading through a 29 page indictment where there is more information than I can digest at one sitting.  I'll have to read it and break it down before I move forward.  The shit is starting to hit the fan as citizens are beginning to come forward to discuss incidents and encounters they've had with the accused officers.  One woman described the absolute fear she felt when she was being robbed by Detective Rayam and Detective Gondo. The woman alleges Rayam told her that if she didn't tell him where the money was, he would kill me. He had a handgun.  The woman was asleep when awakened by a loud sound and was soon staring at two masked men wearing hoodies, jeans and masks.  Allegedly the woman was the girlfriend of a drug dealer they were trying to rob. She says she was "paralyzed by fear" from this incident.  Somehow the two men were linked to the break in and Gondo admitted to using his service weapon during the incident.

Both Gondo and Rayam have plead guilty to federal corruption charges and police are now trying to use them to snag area heroin distributors in the area.  
It's a large and complex operation.  Here are bits and pieces of the large grand jury indictment charges:

Count One - Conspiracy to Distribute and Possess with Intent to distribute controlled substances.

From no later than the beginning of 2010, and continuing to on or about the date of the third superseding indictment in the District of Maryland and elsewhere:


  • Antonio Shropshire (aka "Brill, "B", "Tony")
  • Omari Thomas (aka "Little Brill, "Lil B", "Chewy")
  • Antoine Washington (aka "Twan")
  • Alexander Campbell (aka "Munch")
  • Glen Kyle Wells (aka "Lou", Kyle")
  • Momodu Bondeva Kenton Gondo ("aka GMoney", "Mike")
The defendants herein did knowingly and willfully combine, conspire, confederate and agree with persons known and unknown to the Grand Jury to knowingly, intentionally, and unlawfully distribute a mixture of substance containing a detectable amount of heroin, a schedule 1 controlled substance in violation of Title 21, United States Code Section 841 (a)(1).

Manner and Means of Conspiracy (I've only read 4 pages, and I am shocked at what they are accused of....)

1.  Among the manner and means by which the defendants and others conducted and participated in the conduct of the conspiracy was the following:



a) Members of the conspiracy known to law enforcement as the Shropshire Drug Trafficking Organization distributed narcotics in northern Baltimore and elsewhere. Members of conspiracy primarily distributed heroin in and around or near Alameda Shop Center in Baltimore Maryland.



b) Members of conspiracy distributed heroin to customers, which resulted in multiple overdoses including overdose deaths.


c) Members of conspiracy utilized residences within Baltimore, Maryland to process, cut, repackage and prepare heroin for distribution to customers.


d) Members of conspiracy routinely carried firearms in furtherance of the conspiracy.

e) Members of conspiracy conducted counter-surveillance of law enforcement in an attempt to prevent law enforcement from detecting illegal activities carried out by the Shropshire Drug Trafficking organization.

f) Members of the conspiracy removed, caused to be removed or assisted in the removal of law enforcement GPS tracking devices from vehicles so members of law enforcement could not track movements of the Shropshire group, which could disclose the locations of sources of supply stash locations where narcotics are being stored, locations of firearms and other criminal activities.

g) Members frequently changed cell phones used to arrange narcotic sales s  that law enforcement would not be able to easily intercept illicit communications involving the members of the conspiracy.

2) It was further part of the conspiracy that Baltimore Police Detectives provided sensitive law enforcement information to other members of the Shropshire Drug Trafficking Organization in order to prevent law enforcement from disrupting the organizations narcotics drug trafficking operations and further to protect GorJJendo's co-conspirators.

OVERT ACTS
The Defendants and the members of the Shropshire Drug Trafficking Organization including indicted and non-indicted members committed acts in furtherance of the organizations objections which include but were not limited to:

Shropshire, Campbell and Gonzo Sold or Intended to sell Narcotics 

3) From 2010 until the time of their arrests, Shropshire, Washington, Campbell, Wells and Gondo collectively distributed or intended to distribute multiple kilograms of heroin to customers throughout the Baltimore area (I often wonder if they used their patrol cars as some kind of "drug Uber" service??).

For example, members of the Shropshire trafficked heroin on the following dates:

a) on or about July 15, 2015 in Baltimore Maryland, Shropshire did possess with intent to distribute heroin. Specifically, Shropshire distributed approximately 10 grams of heroin to an undercover officer.
b) on or about May 10, 2016 in Baltimore Maryland, Campbell did possess with intent to distribute heroin. Specifically, Campbell possessed approximately 2 grams during a controlled purchase.  
c) on or about May 24, 2016 in Baltimore Maryland, Campbell did possess with intent to distribute heroin.  Specifically, Campbell possessed approximately 16 grams of heroin with intent to distribute.
d) on or about August 20, 2016 in Baltimore Maryland, Gondo did possess with intent to distribute heroin.  Specifically, Gondo possessed approximately 27 gel capsules full of heroin.
e) on or about November 30, 2016 in Baltimore Maryland, Shropshire did possess with intent to distribute heroin.  Specifically, Shropshire possessed approximately 27 grams of heroin.

Washington Distributes Heroin resulting in the death of LJ

4) The Shropshire Organization's distribution of heroin caused overdoses including fatal overdoses.  For example, on or about December 27, 2011, Washington did possess with intent to distribute heroin and LJ died as a result of the use of said substance that was distributed by Washington.

Washington is Arrested and Uses Recorded Jail Phone System to Discuss Narcotics Trafficking Involving Wells, Shropshire and Campbell.

Come on, everyone knows jail calls are recorded.  Are these guys really part of an "organization"?  Rookie mistake.  
5)  Nonetheless, Washington was charged for distribution of heroin resulting in the death of LJ, but continued talking with his co conspirators about drug trafficking heroin.  On December 15, 2015 Washington called Campbell over the recorded telephone system at Chesapeake Detention Facility.  During the conversation, Washington asks Campbell "What's up though?  What's the word? Campbell replied "shit, shit looking good".  Washington asked "that shit back in compliance?" "What you got, the missile (good stuff) right now?" Campbell replied "uumm humm".  

Campbell then said "Wells gave me 65 the other day". Washington asked about the 65 grams of heroin received by Wells "He's back hitting niggas like that again"? Campbell replied "Hell yeah, bringing the shit right back".

The indictment paperwork is very very long and monotonous.  I'll try to pluck out some of the more relevant things that may have been more of a murder motive for Sean Suiter. From what I'm reading about Antoine Washington, it sounds as if he may have been developing a taste for the product which is never good.  Funny, during their recorded telephone conversations they actually tell each other they must be careful as to what they say yet they openly discuss upcoming deals.

Campbell was telling Wells on the phone that he was getting heroin worth $3,500 to $5,400 on the street from Wells for like $40-$45. Makes no sense to me if you are in a business for profit but perhaps the drug game is played differently when you are in business with law enforcement and get protection.  At one point during that phone call , Wells warned Washington "don't say no dumb shit on the phones".  He also assured him he was setting aside profits from the drug sales aside for him when he was released from jail.  Awww, how sweet.  Profit sharing plan. With all of the drug dealing these guys were involved with, I don't know when they found time to do their real job.  They were literally conspiring with a known drug organization, providing them with law enforcement intel, robbing citizens and keeping drugs, cash & firearms found during searches and falsifying paperwork and their overtime.  I'm sure that's not the half of it.  Is it that outrageous to believe these people could have been involved in some way?

It's not just the circumstances of the Fed Grand Jury Indictment, it's how the whole shooting went down. It just doesn't make sense and if the Commissioner wants to quiet some of the doubters, he may want to do a full re enactment of what happened in that vacant lot.  The scene itself doesn't make sense and sounds a whole lot like a set up to me.

The actual 29 page document can be found online. It's a lot to read and a lot to recap here.  Let's just sum it up by saying these men were obviously trusted and respected at one point to be chosen for this "elite" task force.  But what's that old saying, power corrupts absolutely or absolute power corrupts.  I think both statements can be true.  I'll be following this story like a hawk so please check back for further updates!  Thank you for stopping by.
