About Trooper Kenny Velez

On September 15th, 2016, Trooper Kenneth Velez unit # 511, 27-year veteran of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Cleveland Post was killed in the line of duty after being struck by a passing vehicle outside of his patrol car, while conducting traffic enforcement on the 90 interstate in Cleveland, OH.  Trooper Velez, 48 years old was just a few days from retirement. Kenny was an avid sports fan, very involved father of three, and was great and fair person in and out of his uniform.
