At Rest

Suicide
Alan Keith Baker's family alerted police that he was armed with a gun and knives and that he had a history of mental illness and threatened to hurt himself. Baker came out of the home as his family spoke with officers. Metropolitan Police Department officer Marcus Martin fired two rounds at Baker after the man pointed a revolver at officers, police said. It was unclear if either of the rounds struck Baker. Baker then walked out of sight and shot himself in the head.
This record exists so that Alan Keith Baker, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
