A critically injured Radulovic was found on Donnelly Street in Balmain following reports of an assault on July 29.
He was taken to hospital but died shortly after.

Wests Tigers NRL hopeful Masei Tavui, 19, was charged with Radulovic's murder after tactical response police raided a property in Austral, west of Liverpool, on Tuesday.
His brother, 21-year-old Eti Tovio Presley Tavui, was arrested by strike force detectives at Liverpool on Wednesday.
He has also been charged with murder and failing to comply with an evidence access order.
Remanded in custody, Eti Tavui appeared before Liverpool Local Court by video link from Parklea prison on Thursday.
His lawyer Zemarai Khatiz did not make an application for bail.
After the hearing, family members of the two brothers scuffled with waiting media outside the courthouse, pushing one reporter and swearing at another.
In their investigations into the alleged murder, police were told Radulovic had been injured during a fight with two men, who fled in a white Jeep.
The Jeep was found burnt out in nearby Five Dock with a firearm inside.
Tavui is yet to debut for the Tigers' NRL side but has played as a forward for affiliate club Western Suburbs Magpies in the SG Ball under-19s competition this season.
Both men will appear at Downing Centre Local Court on December 12.
