On Friday, February 23, 2024, at 12:56 p.m., the Green Bay Police Department, through the Brown County dispatch center, received a 911 call indicating that a subject had brandished a gun at the complainant. The male complainant later gave a statement to law enforcement indicating that a man, later determined to be Steve Ventura, had exited a red vehicle, took a gun from the middle section of his sweatshirt, and pointed it at the complainant. The complainant indicated that he was scared for his life. The complainant observed Ventura turn around and get back in the red vehicle. The complainant then called 911 and advised dispatch about what happened. The complainant then followed the red vehicle and remained on the call with dispatch. The complainant continued to follow the red vehicle while maintaining contact with Brown County dispatch and was traveling east on West Mason Street. He then observed a Green Bay Police Department patrol vehicle, which was driven by Officer Daniel Skenandore. The complainant waved to the officer and flashed his high beams in order to get the officer’s attention. Officer Skenandore did observe both the complainant’s vehicle and the red vehicle operated by Ventura. Officer Skenandore conducted a U-turn, crossing over the median on West Mason and began following the vehicles. Officer Skenandore followed the two vehicles as they turned left onto Green Ridge Drive. At that point, the complainant’s vehicle pulled over to the side of the road and allowed Officer Skenandore to go past him. Officer Skenandore noted that the red vehicle, driven by Ventura, continued at a slow rate of speed and came to a stop in the middle of the road on Green Ridge Drive. Ventura then exited the vehicle and began fumbling at something in the front of his waistband. Ventura then produced a black handgun and pointed it at Officer Skenandore. Officer Skenandore then ducked as low as he could and drew his own duty handgun. Officer Skenandore indicated that he then came up from behind the steering wheel and could see Ventura still pointing the handgun in his direction. Officer Skenandore indicated that he was in fear of his life, and therefore he discharged his duty weapon through the windshield and at Ventura, in order to end what he believed to be a threat to his life. Officer Skenandore then began driving at a faster rate of speed in order to get to a safer location, while informing dispatch that shots had been fired and that he needed help. Officer Skenandore drove to the intersection of Green Ridge Drive and Open Gate Trail where he made a U-turn and came to a stop. From that location, Officer Skenandore retrieved his patrol rifle and exited his vehicle. He could still see Ventura standing on the side of the street near the area where he had initially come into contact with him, and he could see an object in his hands. Officer Skenandore still perceived Ventura to be a threat to himself and to others in the area based on Ventura’s actions immediately prior, and thus, he fired what he estimated to be two rife rounds at Ventura. Officer Skenandore observed Ventura then retreat out of sight to the west of where he was originally standing. Officer Skenandore took cover behind a van, then a tree, then another vehicle, as other officers began to arrive on scene. The suspect died from a self inflicted gun shot wound.
