Scarcely noted in news reports, Andrew Bonnett’s unsolved murder has haunted his parents for eight years. “I have no idea what happened to my son,” his father Anthony recently told our reporters.
Now, as a result of a potentially far-reaching lawsuit by THE CITY, the Bonnetts have some clues. A judge’s favorable ruling has forced the NYPD to release 2,000 pages of previously confidential disciplinary records concerning scores of cases closed out in 2022 against more than 130 cops.
A large number of them involved domestic violence complaints — 20 against cops themselves in a six month period — and another five identified serious, sometimes verbally abusive, blunders in responses to calls for help. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch underscored the seriousness of the issue last October when she established a unit of 450 detectives to focus solely on domestic violence.
None of the cases unearthed through THE CITY’s suit were more consequential than that involving Bonnett, who was accused by a woman he had allowed to stay in the family brownstone of threatening her, a claim his parents doubt. She called for help four times. Cops made critical mistakes on every response, including by not staying with Bonnett twice when they took him to St. Barnabas Hospital for mental observation. Each time he wandered away and returned to the brownstone where he was murdered.
A sergeant and 10 police officers received various disciplines in the case. All of this was unknown to Bonnett’s parents. “If not for their neglect, my son probably would be alive today,” his mother Ann said when presented with the once-secret details. Read more here.

Medical Residents to Join Nurses’ Picket Line
Physicians affiliated with the Committee of Interns and Residents - SEIU will join striking nurses on the picket line next week, a decision the union described as “historic.”
Only off-duty doctors will participate, in accordance with federal law. The so-called “picket parties” begin Monday at 6 p.m. at the Montefiore Henry and Lucy Moses campus.
The move by CIR-SEIU marks the first formal action by physicians in solidarity with the New York State Nurses Association, which represents the 15,000 nurses who’ve been on strike since Jan. 12.
“As a Bronx native and a physician at Montefiore, I understand the importance of ensuring our city’s nurses have what they need to keep providing quality care to this community,” Dr. Miledys Guzman, a CIR-SEIU member at Montefiore, said in a statement. “We’re standing with NYSNA because these folks are New York’s nurses, they matter, and our city’s health depends on them having what they need.”
Here are some free and low-cost things going on around the city this week.
Thursday, Jan. 22: Join a curator at the Met Museum to hear insights and untold stories of modern artworks from the exhibition Man Ray: When Objects Dream. Free, first come first served from 3:00 to 3:30 p.m.
