Prospect, Connecticut — On October 20, 2023, at approximately 4:55 p.m., Prospect Police Officers David Terni and Jonathan Slavin were dispatched to 20 Merriman Lane, Prospect, on a report of a possible disturbance. Upon arrival, they spoke to a neighbor who stated that he heard suspicious noises coming from within 20 Merriman Lane and believed that there was some sort of disturbance occurring inside. Officer Slavin approached the rear of the house while Officer Terni approached the front. One of the front windows had been dislodged allowing an opening into the house.
When asked what happened to the window, the woman inside said, “Mike did it.†At that time, a subject, identified as 48-year-old Michael Strenk, opened a kitchen drawer and removed a knife. Officer Terni ordered Strenk to drop the knife. Strenk threw the knife in the direction of Officer Terni. It passed through the open window missing the officer. At this point, Strenk charged at Officer Terni with another knife in his right hand. Officer Terni fired two shots striking and fatally wounding Strenk. Emergency Medical Services pronounced Strenk dead at the scene. The chief medical examiner’s office determined that Strenk died of a gunshot wound to the head, and the manner of death was determined to be a homicide.

Man what’s going on in ct
When LE is on a first name basis with the people they deal with you know they are pillars of the community. I always worry about the officers mental well being after something like this, especially with the uncertainty of prosecutors now.
A lot of people here dont know what homicide actually means…
My States been getting too much action apparently. This is like the 3rd or 4th video as of late in CT.
the silence is loud in this one
The reason the medical examiner ruled it a homicide is because there isn't a box to check that says "Dude went bat shit crazy and attacked a cop with a fucking steak knife" on the Autopsy Report.
Why can’t I see the description of the video?
Those damn Mike's.
Tactical breathing.
All the comment talking about the silence or the officer… but nobody condemning the suspect… i wonder why.
Usually comments are talking about how theyre glad the cop took another pos off the streets but these comments are different 😂
The coroner ruled the death a homicide. Does that mean it is justified homicide?
That is so deep.
God will require account for all blood.
You do have the best Video s wish we could the rest of the story, thanks your the best
They determined his death a homicide? Doubt they are going to charge this officer.
The chief medical examiner’s office determined that Strenk died of a gunshot wound to the head, and the manner of death was determined to be a homicide.
This is a very convoluted way of saying that Officer Terni killed Strenk by shooting him in the head.
Homicide means that Terni killed Strenk – as opposed to what though? Some ridiculous impossibility like "the gun spontaneously went off and happened to kill Strenk".
Fucking legalese.
Alhamdulillah
it was his house….
These people think they are entitled to special privileges ! Proud 👠of our blues for doing their job.its dangerous dealing with loose cannons
Dude f'd around and found out.
From the context of a minute and half video, this entire situation is stupid. The woman could have left the house either through the door or the same window the cop broke into the house through. Why so damn trigger happy? You shot a fat old lunatic. You broke in through a window and shot someone. He may have been going nuts, but instead of just trespassing you could have gotten the woman out and if actually necessary tasered the guy. What kind of decision making skills does this dimwit have? Both parties are idiots.
is that considered self defense? the officer got closer to him before shooting 🤔
dont fucking rush the situation. what a horrible decision. This officer needs to be retrained. The lady is stupid for not vacating the property. What morons all the way around.
