Public Memorial for Delaware Trooper Matthew ‘Ty’ Snook Draws Road Closures in Newark Monday

The service follows his fatal shooting at the Wilmington DMV, where police say he pushed a coworker to safety.

Overview

  • Visitation runs 9 a.m. to noon at the University of Delaware’s Bob Carpenter Center, followed by a law enforcement pass and review at 12:45 p.m. and a 1 p.m. memorial service with a private interment to follow.
  • DelDOT warns of temporary closures on I-95 south between the Route 1 and Route 896 interchanges beginning around 6:30 a.m., with significant delays expected on numerous roads.
  • Drivers are urged to avoid roads near the Bob Carpenter Center from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. as traffic control teams manage the funeral procession and related activities.
  • Parking at the venue is limited, with motorists directed to overflow lots and potential university-operated shuttle buses to move mourners to the arena.
  • Delaware State Police will livestream the memorial on YouTube; investigators previously identified the gunman as 44-year-old Rahman Rose, who later died after being shot by a New Castle County officer, with no motive released.
