Police are continuing to investigate the shooting death of Detective Steve Suiter, who was shot in the head Wednesday while working a case in West Baltimore.
The large reward has been criticized by people who say that civilian homicides in the city don’t receive such attention. At a press conference Friday, police Commissioner Kevin Davis said he considers the shooting of an officer to be an assault on American democracy.
