Ronald Baker was on routine patrol on the
south east side of this cruiser a few
minutes later, his blood was all over the
car and on the parking lot of an
apartment complex.
Apparently, he stopped to question a
suspicious group of people near a van.
Then witnesses heard gunfire and saw
Baker.
Stagger first started in his car
and then he went out
in the street.
Oh, no.
He was shot in the street.
And to
get the last number, I.
Baker was hit four times, twice in the
heart and two other times in the trunk of
his body as the van pulled out to
flee. The driver ran over him twice.
Medics could do little for Baker when
they arrived at the scene.
The police tell us that Van has a light
colored camper top and a yellow body with
a brown stripe.
Two suspects are now in custody.
They're being questioned and will be
shown to the witnesses.
Police are still looking for one or two
other people in connection with the case.
If the witnesses can identify the
suspects, they'll face capital murder
charges.
Officer Baker was twenty four years old.
He leaves behind a two year old daughter
and a wife who was pregnant with their
second child.
