Police Officer Milton Spell was shot and killed after stopping a suspect drunk driver in the 1600 block of North Bradford Street. Officer Spell, who was on foot patrol, called for backup and approached the vehicle to speak with the driver. As they spoke, the driver opened fire from inside the car, striking Officer Spell in the chest and abdomen. His backup unit, who was less than one block away, heard the shots and immediately started CPR when he arrived on the scene. Officer Spell was transported to Johns Hopkins University Hospital where he succumbed to his wounds a short time later. The 31-year-old suspect was apprehended, convicted of first-degree murder, and sentenced to life. Officer Spell was a United States Army veteran and had served with the Baltimore City Police Department for seven years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Police Officer Spell gave the Baltimore City Police Department 7 years.
Thank you for your service to the Baltimore community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
