The suspect has been identified as Adam Radcliffe, 30, of Wilmington, Delaware. Radcliffe’s girlfriend has established a GoFundMe page to raise money for funeral expenses and makes no mention of the injured trooper that Radcliffe dragged with his car, his injuries or family expenses.

The trooper was injured simply for doing his job and only when he used deadly force, did he keep Radcliffe from killing him.

The following information outlines the preliminary investigation into a trooper involved shooting that occurred west of Wilmington, Delaware.

The incident occurred on Friday, December 15, 2017, at approximately 4:24 p.m. as a trooper on patrol observed a burgundy Honda strike a pole and was driving erratically on Boxwood Road near Centerville Road, Wilmington.

The suspect vehicle fled from the crash scene and the trooper followed the suspect vehicle which was later seen in the Kirkwood Plaza Shopping Center off of Kirkwood Highway, located at 4365 Kirkwood Highway, Wilmington. As the trooper proceeded to make contact with the driver, the suspect vehicle sped off with the trooper attached to the passenger side door dragging him. The vehicle accelerated down the access road for Kirkwood Plaza before turning left onto Farrand Drive.

The Trooper fired his divisionally issued weapon striking the suspect. The suspect vehicle sped off down Farrand Drive into the neighborhood. Troopers began canvassing the area for the suspect and located the burgundy Honda Civic off of Hammond Place at the end of Farrand Drive where it drove through a fence into a small creek.

Troopers removed the sole occupant of the vehicle and performed CPR. Emergency Medical Personnel arrived on scene and transported the Radcliffe to the Christiana Hospital in Wilmington, Del., where he succumbed to his injuries.

According to his Facebook posts, Radcliffe was self-employed as a house painter.
