BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Police Department expressed its gratitude on Facebook after it was gifted a “Blue Lives Matter” Christmas tree in the wake of a veteran detective’s death.

WJZ-TV reports that the tree is decorated with the names of fallen officers, including Det. Sean Suiter, who was killed in the line of duty earlier this month. A family purchased and delivered the tree after seeing it at a charity event that features uniquely decorated Christmas trees, according to Baltimore PD’s Facebook post.

Suiter was shot and killed on Nov. 15 while he was investigating a murder case in a West Baltimore neighborhood. Police have not identified a suspect, and a $215,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.

A funeral service for Suiter will be held on Wednesday.
