Slain Baltimore detective was to testify in indicted officers case

Slain Baltimore homicide detective Sean Suiter was scheduled to testify before a federal grand jury in the case against a squad of indicted officers, Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis confirmed Wednesday evening. The new information brings together two cases that have sent shockwaves through city law enforcement and the city as a whole: the indictment of eight members of an elite gun task force who are accused of shaking down citizens for years and conspiring with drug dealers, and the first killing of an on-duty officer by a suspect in 10 years.
