Officer Wood was killed when the helicopter he was piloting crashed during a chase of a stolen vehicle. During the chase the pilot radioed to dispatch that there was a fire aboard the Schweizer 300C helicopter. During his search for a landing spot the aircraft crashed. The passenger was pulled from the wreckage immediately and Officer Wood was freed by rescue workers. He was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries during surgery. He is the 99th Baltimore officer to be killed in the line of duty since 1870. He is survived by his wife.
