Mycrimetime: Baltimore Police Commissioner "Still Not Ruling Out Suicide" in Det. Suiter's Death

Baltimore Police Commissioner Davis reportedly has stated that they still are not ruling out suicide in the shooting death of Detective Sean Suiter. This is the most ridiculous theory yet and makes me even more suspicious that the department has something to hide. How can there be a "brief but violent" struggle - even heard on a brief radio transmission call for help by Suiter and this be a suicide? I seriously doubt a detective who was planning to kill himself would make a radio call for help with a suspicious man. The struggle theory was based on Suiter's clothing - there are witnesses who don't want to be identified who saw a subject running down an alleyway after the shooting. How can they raise this ridiculous theory? What a slap in the face to Det. Suiter's family. What is the theory based on? Was he suicidal? Was he in financial trouble or did he have marital problems? If they are going to put this theory out there they should explain why they believe this is plausible.

I don't buy it for one minute. Why would he kill himself while on duty with a partner in a public place? This theory needs to be put to rest and they need to focus on finding the shooter. Find the shooter and you will find out who was really behind this murder. It seems much more likely that Suiter's fellow officers who were facing serious federal charges had motive to want him dead. Particularly the officer that set Suiter up to find the planted drugs in the car of a person they had pulled over. If these officers have admitted to and plead guilty to the serious crimes they committed while on duty, why is it so hard to believe they could have something to do with Suiter's murder? They need to explain the basis of the suicide theory or keep it out of the news. How disrespectful to his family these statements are.

The people of Baltimore want answers - Suiter's funeral was attended by thousands of people who turned out to show support and respect for the murdered detective. I believe the truth will come out. The mayor of Baltimore needs to tie a big fat reward for information leading to the arrest of the killer and somebody out there will talk. The murder took place in a reportedly "troubled and dangerous" part of Baltimore. People there may jump at the chance to collect a reward for information. Even if they need to make a deal with the killer if he/she was hired to kill Suiter, it would be worth it to find the truth.
