Baltimore PD Speculate Suicide Can't Be Ruled Out in Det.Sean Suiter's Death - DESPARATE??

RIP Detective Sean Suiter

A new and startling theory is making the rounds in the media today that it's possible Detective Sean Suiter's death was a suicide.  Hmmmm.....let's see - how would go?  Suiter & unnamed partner are canvassing at the location of a year old triple homicide scene.  They see a "suspicious" man in a vacant lot.  A brief (but "violent") struggle ensues and Suiter is shot in the head with his own gun. How anyone can present this theory with a straight face amazes me.

OK, there have been no verifications that Det. Suiter was suicidal for one.  He has a wife and five children at home and has been on the job for 18 years.  He was NOT the subject of the Federal Grand Jury Indictment coming down against many of his fellow officers.  Why would he kill himself, or why would he have the suspicious man shoot and kill him?  I find it awfully strange that we haven't heard anything from Suiter's "partner" either way.  You can't have a violent struggle for a weapon and then call it a possible suicide.  You just can't!  This makes the Baltimore PD look outright desperate to point the finger away from the co conspirators in this huge police racketeering and corruption case.  Which is more likely?  A few days ago the commish was certain it was a random crime.

Commissioner Davis is finally conceding in asking the FBI to take over the case.  I get the feeling this is not what he really wants, because he loses control of what information they may find and perhaps there's even more corruption than we are aware of.  Davis is beginning to contradict himself as well. On November 22, 2017, Davis described a "brief but violent" struggle.  Davis says the struggle was evident by the state of Suiter's clothing.  Now according to his statement to WBALtv.com there was no struggle.  I think the "no struggle" better supports the new suicide theory.  This is really a mess and being handled unprofessionally. The FBI does need to get involved and fast.  

Other conspiracy theories that sound more plausible are that Suiter may have been seen as a traitor by the dirty officers and paid the ultimate price for walking over that thin blue line.  That's the most likely theory I've heard thus far.  There may be people higher up in the food chain involved with this Shropshire drug trafficking organization and they don't want to be identified.  Suiter sounded like one of the good guys, someone who was by the book and couldn't be bought.  There are no indications he was "on the take" like these other officers were.  They (allegedly) stole from citizens, robbed drug dealers, robbed the city who paid them by falsifying overtime records and generally abused the power entrusted to them.  Disgraceful. 

Finally, the Baltimore Sun has stated that the detective with Sean Suiter the day he was murdered was not his usual partner.  Rather, he was with Detective David Bomenka.  The reward fund has risen to over $200,000 for tips leading to the arrest of Det. Suiter's killer yet it sits untouched.  Apparently this is very unusual in Baltimore. Citizens usually will come forward with information when that type of money is involved.  Detective Suiter's homicide is the only unsolved homicide involving a police officer in Baltimore history.  Does any of this sound "random" to you? 

I may be getting a little tainted by the news of the world these days, but I'm telling you something isn't right about this murder. None of it makes sense.  Even suspicious people in vacant lots don't disarm a police officer with 18 years training (and a partner nearby) and shoot him point blank in the head and escape unseen or just unidentifiable. That rarely happens.  Where are the surveillance tapes from surrounding buildings or the patrol cars?  There has to be something showing Mr. Suspicious.  Also strangely enough he apparently has no fingerprints or DNA either because the murder weapon had neither.  Was it cold in Baltimore and the suspect wearing gloves, or was the weapon wiped clean after the shooting but before the shooting was called in?

If you can sense the sarcasm in my writing, you are correct.  I am very cynical and suspicious about this homicide and am going to keep digging around as much as any ordinary citizen can do.  Baltimore has seen a surge in heroin abuse that has led to an epidemic of sorts - just think about it.  These indicted officers were protecting a known heroin trafficker and selling drugs themselves and therefore they fully contributed to the current epidemic of drug addicts walking the streets of Baltimore.  Many overdoses may go back to the Shropshire drug traffickers or the drugs officers stole from drug dealer they should have been busting.

These crooked cops pocketed a fortune in undue overtime at the city's expense. There are likely going to be lawsuits, cases reopened or thrown out altogether if any of these officers were involved - this is going to have repercussions that will

likely play out for years and years.  What a disgrace. It's hard to imagine having that many dirty cops operating together and not being discovered sooner.  And knowing they were chosen to be part of an "elite" gun task force is even more shameful.  I hope there is more due diligence, compliance and internal affairs involved with the Baltimore PD in the years to come.  We WILL eventually find the truth.

Baltimore City Councilman Urges FBI to Take Over Investigation into Murder of Det. Sean Suiter

Finally some common sense is coming out of Baltimore. Baltimore City Council President Jack Young and City Council Member Brandon Scott are calling for the FBI to officially take over the investigation into the murder of 18 year veteran Detective Sean Suiter.  As has been reported, the Baltimore PD is under heavy scrutiny over the Federal Grand Jury indictment of 8 officers on their "Elite" gun trace task force.  This would absolutely be the right thing to do, to have an outside entity working this case.  The Baltimore PD is far too close to every aspect of this case.  It could make the entire department look incompetent and there would be cries of a cover up.

I can only imagine how many cases in the system are going to be tainted due to the alleged activities of these trusted officers - if they are found guilty of planting evidence, conducting illegal searches and things of that nature, how many re trials will be needed to ensure there aren't innocent people sitting in jail right now?  How many lawsuits will Baltimore PD have filed against them? This kind of widespread conspiracy involving so many trusted veteran officers could have ripple effects we cannot even imagine.  This story is about the ambush murder of an innocent law enforcement detective but it's about so much more.  They need to catch Sean Suiter's killer fast.  The cards should fall fairly quickly once they do.  I'd be really surprised if the killer was not someone associated in some way with the indictment or the Shropshire group.  They stand to lose a lot of money if their alleged drug operations are no longer protected by those on the take.

The fact that the police commissioner is so vocal about his assurance that Detective Suiter's murder was just another random act of violence does not sit well with me.  How could he possibly come to that conclusion this quickly?  I understand he's protecting his job, it's politics as usual.  But Sean Suiter had a wife and five children who deserve the truth.  And I have a feeling they will get it.  Other than the indicted officers, there have got to be good law enforcement officers out there and they hear things.  They do the right thing.  They are not all corrupt.j

It's unclear what Suiter knew and what his testimony was expected to include. One thing we do know is he was previously "set up" by fellow officer Kevin Jenkins for an incident in 2010 in which Jenkins planted "a cache" of heroin in a car and set it up for Suiter to make the discovery of the planted drugs.  Suiter was in no way involved in the planting of evidence.  He was however going to be testifying to that incident.  I believe Jenkins was a Sgt. at the time  and get this....he was the supervisor of the task force!  It's amazing to me that some oft these alleged co conspirators were higher ranking than the average officer which makes me wonder exactly how long this kind of thing has been going on?

It's very difficult to get over public mistrust of an entire police department. Just ask Los Angeles or another department that has gone through something similar. When there are allegations of citizens being robbed by those paid to protect them, we have a real problem. What comes out of the indictments in court is sure to cause some genuine anger.  And it should.  I just read about a police chase in which in 2016, Jenkins and Rayam started a high speed chase after a suspect who they saw throw more than 9 ounces of cocaine out of the window before crashing the car.  The officers retrieved the drugs, kept them, sold or had them sold and shared in the proceeds.  This is the kind of thing that was happening frequently with these crooked officers.

Rayam has already plead guilty to his charges and is reportedly cooperating with authorities.  Will he end up the next "random victim" or will we hear about a sad suicide in federal prison?  I'd be REAL careful if I were Mr. Rayam.  The indicted officers have a lot to lose - basically everything they have worked for their entire careers. Police officers protect their pensions like a pit bull.  Just ask Drew Peterson.  They don't want anyone getting their hands on their pensions. They also have jobs and reputations that could end in shambles, prison time and perhaps a few divorces or break ups over this illicit activity. They have A LOT to lose.  You can't tell me you believe these officers are incapable of carrying out this type of murder of one of their own?  If that one of their own is set to testify against them, you better believe it.  

There is likely some form of corruption in police departments around the country. But of this scope and scale is very unusual.  For it to go undetected while officers openly were associating with a known drug organization(Shropshire).  I have been looking for a way to attach the entire PDF file of the indictment to this post but apparently there isn't a way.  You can't simply cut/paste either.  It's too much material to review here in one post but you should read it if you want to really know what these guys were into. I makes e believe they are fully capable of setting up an ambush killing of another officer.

I may be wrong, and if I am I'm sorry to the indicted officers.  Everything points to conspiracy and not a random shooting in my eyes.  This is the same city where Freddie Gray died in custody under suspicious circumstances. The citizens of Baltimore and around the globe were outraged when the charges were dropped against the officers involved.  Not one single officer was arrested or served time.  Baltimore cannot handle another case being swept under the rug - there very well could be mutiny if this happens.

I will continue to try to find a way to ink the indictment to this blog so you can read the entire 28 page document and make up your own mind.  I know I will be following this investigation through it's conclusion, regardless of how long that may take.  Detective Suiter deserved more. I truly believe he was killed for being an honest cop not willing to cover for the thugs in the gun trace task force and the Shropshire drug organization.  RIP Sean Suiter. We won't stop putting pressure on law enforcement until the truth has been heard.
