Flint Gregory Hunt (June 27, 1959 – July 2, 1997) was an American murderer executed by the state of Maryland in 1997. Hunt shot Baltimore police officer Vincent Adolfo twice in an East Baltimore alley on November 18, 1985, after Adolfo spotted him running from a stolen Cadillac. He was captured five days later at a bus station in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In June 1986, a Baltimore jury convicted Hunt of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to death the following month. Eleven years later, Hunt was executed by lethal injection at the Maryland State Penitentiary at the age of 38. Early life Hunt was the third of five children. According to his sisters, his mother beat him with switches and extension cords. Hunt's father drank himself to death when he was 17. Murder On the evening of November 18, 1985, while out on patrol in Baltimore, Maryland, 25-year-old Vincent J.

He soon learned the vehicle had been reported stolen. Adolfo called for backup while tailing the car. Two responding units set up a roadblock ahead. The driver of the stolen vehicle was Hunt, who jumped out of the vehicle as he got near the roadblock. The vehicle continued moving and collided with one of the patrol cars blocking the road. The officers apprehended the three remaining occupants. Hunt meanwhile fled into an alleyway and was pursued by Adolfo on foot. Adolfo captured Hunt, placed him against a wall and prepared to handcuff him. As he attempted to detain Hunt, he was pushed back and knocked over.

Adolfo was transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Hunt and his girlfriend then went to the home of his sister, but left when a television broadcast announced that Hunt was being sought in relation to the crime. The following day, Hunt and his girlfriend drove to Camden, New Jersey. During the drive,
