Forty-eight days ago, Ed Snukis died while in the custody of the Evansville Police Department. Ed was unarmed. The police were dispatched in response to a 911 call that said, “he’s just standing there and I’m kinda afraid he is going to get hit.†Less than 30 minutes later, he was dead
Ed’s family has hired Danks & Danks to represent them and investigate the circumstances of Ed’s death on September 13, 2019. We have opened an estate, which is the first step in that process.

Now, another officer-involved death has been reported. Two such deaths in less than 2 months are very concerning. This concern has been heightened by the EPD’s failure to release complete time-stamped bodycam footage from the officers involved. We will be requesting the bodycam footage and other information in order to determine what happened on the night of September 13, 2019. |

Ed Snukis has a loving family who is grieving as a result of his death. Our efforts will also help the family as well as our community deal with Ed’s tragic death. Based on prior reporting, we expect that the Coroner’s autopsy report will be released in the next few days. We will provide a follow-up statement once the autopsy report has been released. |
