PORT ORCHARD — The Washington Department of Transportation is renaming State Route 16 in memory of State Trooper Tony Radulescu. He was killed four years ago Tuesday on that roadway.
A rededication ceremony is planned for Tuesday morning in Port Orchard. The governor and other dignitaries are schedule to speak.
Radulescu was shot and killed while making a traffic stop in Gorst early in the morning of Feb. 23, 2012. The 44-year-old was a U.S. Army veteran and had served with the Washington State Patrol for 16 years.
The man accused of the shooting later committed suicide and the passenger in his vehicle was sentenced to one year in prison.
