A man shot and killed by a Christiansburg police officer Sept. 20 has been identified.

According to the Virginia State Police, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Western District, has identified the man as Ronald Allen Troskoski, 31.  

Troskoski’s last known address was listed in Huntingdon, Pa.

“Troskoski fled from officers Sept. 20 and was shot after producing a weapon,” the VSP stated. “He was wanted in York County, Pa., and Montgomery County, Va. on multiple charges. At the conclusion of the investigation, the Virginia State Police will turnover the investigative file to the Montgomery County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office for adjudication.”

The incident began after a 911 call about a suspicious person led to a foot chase after Troskoski displayed a knife. According to the Town of Christiansburg, Christiansburg Police and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call about a suspicious person observed near Viewland Circle in the Mud Pike area of Montgomery County near the Christiansburg town limits on Friday, Sept. 20, 2024 at approximately 1:51p.m.

“Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office responded and observed an individual who displayed a knife and then fled on foot, deputies followed,” according to the information released by the Town of Christiansburg. “Deputies temporarily lost sight of the suspect and a foot search followed. Due to the proximity of the call, Christiansburg Police responded to assist with search operations.”

“At approximately 2:15p.m. Christiansburg Police observed the suspect. The suspect then fled into a wooded area. Christiansburg Police and Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies followed. As officers pursued, the suspect exited the tree line and pointed a weapon at a Christiansburg Police officer. Christiansburg Police then shot the suspect. Officers rendered aid to the suspect, until Christiansburg EMS arrived. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.”

No law enforcement officers were injured in the incident.
