The square in the *Drumul Taberei* neighborhood where Huwé was killed would later be named after him: the Danny Huwé Square (Piața Danny Huwé in Romanian). In addition to a memorial at the site, the bus stops in the area also bear his name.
Murdered… more like collateral damage if I recall well. Travelling in a war zone is risky business.
But a tragedy anyway. He was a very well respected journalist, too.
And only few days later the regime was overthrown.. tragic waste of life.
