Tony Francis Koga, III

Police Officer Tony Koga succumbed to injuries sustained in an automobile crash 24 years earlier at the intersection of Krome Avenue and SW 312th Street.

He was ejected from his patrol car when it collided with a second patrol car as the officers responded to assist their sergeant, who was chasing a stolen car.

Officer Koga was a United States Air Force veteran and had served with the Homestead Police Department for six years. He is survived by his mother, two sisters, a brother, nieces, and nephews.
