Police responded to a 911 call reporting a person lying in the back seat of a maroon sedan parked on Bauer Avenue and Frontier Trail. Suffolk County Police Officer James Skidmore arrived on the location and approached the vehicle. Upon engaging with Jesse Bonsignore, the officer claimed that Bonsignore exited the car holding a knife and made threats against him. Officer Skidmore physically grabbed Bonsignore, during which Bonsignore reportedly tried to take the officer’s firearm. Officer Skidmore then shot and killed Bonsignore.
.
The New York Attorney General’s Office investigated the incident, concluding that Officer Skidmore’s use of deadly force was legally justified under New York law, citing the perceived threat during the confrontation. Bonsignore’s family, however, has filed an $85 million wrongful death lawsuit against the Suffolk County Police Department and Officer Skidmore, alleging excessive force and wrongful death.
