The City of Baltimore is in mourning following the recent passing of a Department of Transportation employee, Gregory Turnipseed, announced by city officials.
In a statement acquired by the Mayor's Office, the team of Mayor Brandon M. Scott, State's Attorney Ivan J. Bates, Police Commissioner Richard Worley, and Department of Transportation Director Veronica McBeth expressed their profound sadness over the loss of Turnipseed, a 14-year veteran of the BCDOT Traffic Division.
Reflecting on the contributions of the deceased, the officials' joint statement highlighted, "Mr. Turnipseed was an exemplary public servant, a 14-year veteran of BCDOT working in the Traffic Division. He served Baltimore with dignity and integrity, and we will forever be grateful for his dedication to our city." The details around Turnipseed's death were not disclosed, but it is known that he sustained significant injuries last month, which were a result of an assault while he was on duty. A suspect has since been arrested, and an active investigation hopes to quickly shed light on the details surrounding the incident, as reported by the City of Baltimore Mayor's Office.
