Detective Sean Suiter Died By Suicide: Report

BALTIMORE, MD — Detective Sean Suiter took his own life, according to multiple reports. The update into the death of the Baltimore police officer came a little less than two years after he was killed.

Suiter, 43, was shot in the head with his service weapon on Nov. 15, 2017, while investigating a triple homicide from 2016, according to officials.

Maryland State Police conducted a review of the evidence that determined the death of Suiter was a suicide, according to WBAL, which quoted Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison as saying: "Regardless of the circumstances, Det. Suiter's death was a tragedy" and "BPD's investigation into Det. Suiter's death is now closed."

The findings by the state police were the same conclusion drawn by an independent review board in 2018 that Suiter died by his own hand.

He died the day before he was to give grand jury testimony in the case of Baltimore officers who were indicted in March 2017 in connection with the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force. Seven members of the corrupt, now-defunct unit have since been convicted, along with a former Baltimore officer who moved to the Philadelphia Police Department. They are serving sentences up to 25 years for the federal racketeering conspiracy.
