Davis said Suiter was \"a loved guy\" who \"loved being a cop.\"

Baltimore Police Maj. Martin Bartness wrote on Twitter, \"Suiter was my rock\" as a new sergeant.

\"He knew his post; colleagues & citizens respected him. He was the man u wanted investigating ur case & patrolling ur neighborhood,\" he said. \"Quick with a smile & big of heart, he is dearly missed. RIP, my friend.\"

We have lost our best. When I was a new sgt in the WD, Det Suiter was my rock. He knew his post; colleagues & citizens respected him. He was the man u wanted investigating ur case & patrolling ur neighborhood. Quick with a smile & big of heart, he is dearly missed. RIP, my friend

The manhunt is ongoing for Suiter's killer, whom Davis described as \"cold\" and \"callous.\"

Davis said that evidence suggests the suspect may have been wounded.

He said the suspect is likely in the Baltimore community.

Davis said today that tips have come in, adding, \"I encourage our tipsters to keep calling.\"

\"I know that our community is just as upset about this as we are,\" Davis said at a news conference this afternoon. \"When a cop is killed, that goes way beyond that murder. It's an attack on American policing.\"

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said in a statement Thursday, \"It is difficult to express the sadness -- and anger -- that comes with losing this dedicated public servant to such a cruel and senseless act of violence.

\"The State of Maryland will continue to support local law enforcement as they hunt down the individual that committed this heinous crime, and ensure that the full force of justice is brought to bear,\" he added.

\"We join all Marylanders in praying for Det. Suiter's wife, children, and loved ones during this time of tragedy,\" Hogan said. \"May God continue to bless the brave men and women who serve and protect us every single day, including all of Det. Suiter's fellow officers on the Baltimore City police force.\"

The FBI in Baltimore said anyone with information can call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
