Freeway named for fallen officer
West Covina officer Kenneth Scott Wrede was fatally shot during a routine traffic stop 24 years ago. Today, he received a freeway honor. According to CNS: A portion of the San Bernardino Freeway in West Covina has been dedicated in honor of a policeman who was killed in the line of duty in 1983. West Covina Officer Kenneth Scott Wrede would have turned 50 today. Two signs reading "West Covina Police Officer Kenneth Scott Wrede Memorial Highway" will be posted -- one alongside the eastbound freeway lanes at Vincent Avenue and the other alongside the westbound lanes at Grand Avenue.
