Candlelight vigil honors Fort Worth officer struck and killed on duty
FORT WORTH – A candlelight vigil Wednesday evening honored a longtime Fort Worth police officer who was struck and killed Monday while working a fuel spill on Interstate 35W.
On Tuesday morning, Fort Worth police escorted Randolph from the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office to the Mount Olivet Funeral Home.
A day earlier, hundreds of police officers honored Randolph at John Peter Smith Hospital, just hours after he died.
Randolph was standing outside his vehicle at the I-35W fuel spill scene when another vehicle zoomed through the scene in the wrong direction and struck him. Police arrested that vehicle's driver, 25-year-old De Aujalae Evans.
Randolph served with the Fort Worth Police Department for 29 years.
Randolph's funeral services will be held Saturday.
