Benjamin Colton Barnes, an Iraq war veteran was suspected of shooting ranger Margaret Anderson on Sunday when she stopped his vehicle.
He then fled on foot.
The shooting prompted a massive search and the evacuation of some 125 tourists from the park.
Wearing a black tape on his badge, Anderson's boss spoke of her dedication to her work.
(SOUNDBITE) RANDY KING, MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK SUPERINTENDENT, SAYING(English):
"Well, Margaret is just a tremendous individual. She has worked here, she and her husband, for the last four years and just an incredibly nice person, extremely passionate about working for the National Park Service like most employees are, very dedicated to her job, highly trained, highly skilled, highly motivated, excellent law enforcement officer and it is just a horrible, horrible loss."
Barnes was also a suspect in another shooting on New Year's Day, which injured three men and a woman.
