AG’s office releases video of shooting of Jeremy Bennett by Nassau police

The footage shows police shooting and killing Jeremy Bennett in his car following a pursuit that started in Queens and ended on Sunrise Highway.

Queens, NY – At least two Nassau County police officers opened fire on a Queens man when he was fatally shot during a vehicle pursuit last year, with one shouting “show your [expletive] hands” just before firing at the stopped vehicle, police body camera video released Thursday shows.

The state attorney general’s Office of Special Investigation (OSI), which investigates all incidents in which police are alleged to have caused the death of a civilian, released the body-worn camera videos from five Nassau officers who were present at the scene of the Sept. 20, 2024, fatal shooting of Jeremy Bennett in Massapequa.

Bennett, 37, of Jamaica, Queens, died at the hospital on Sept. 21.
