BALTIMORE (AP) — Police say a man driving in a funeral procession was shot dead in Baltimore.

The Baltimore Sun reports that Baltimore police Detective Jeremy Silbert said Monday that officers on patrol found 39-year-old Dannta Holmes suffering from gunshot wounds on Saturday. Silbert says a preliminary investigation indicates that suspects had approached the vehicle taking part in the procession and opened fire before fleeing.

Holmes was subsequently pronounced dead at a hospital. Silbert says he didn't know for whom the procession was being held.
