A Poulsbo man pleaded guilty in the 2023 death of his then 25-year-old friend in Kitsap County Superior Court on Monday, Sept. 15, almost two years to the day after he told detectives that the victim died of a self-inflicted gunshot.

Zachery Ian Streun, 25, was driving with victim Bradley Michael Joshua Smith on Tracyton Boulevard between the Fairgrounds and Silverdale just after 9 p.m. on Sept. 23, 2023, when the car crashed and struck a power pole and several mailboxes on the side of the road. When the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene, Smith was dead, with a gunshot wound on the right side of his head.
