LANSING, Mich. (WILX)—The Michigan State Police (MSP) will honor a fallen hero on Friday. A highway dedication ceremony will be held for trooper Caleb Starr.

Starr was killed in the line of duty when a drunk driver hit him in Ionia County in July 2020.

On Friday, a stretch of US-127, between the Cedar Street exit and the I-96 interchange in Ingham County, will be dedicated as “Trooper Starr Memorial Highway.”

The ceremony will take place at Hayes Park at noon.
