PESHTIGO, Wis. (WFRV) – Authorities have provided an update, which includes the identities of those involved in a deadly officer-involved shooting in Peshtigo back in August.
An updated release provided by the Wisconsin Department of Justice has identified the victim and the two Marinette Police Department officers who shot him.
The incident began on the morning of August 29 in Peshtigo when officers were trying to find a vehicle allegedly related to a suspicious death investigation in Dane County. The suspect vehicle was found around 9:10 a.m., where it fled an attempted traffic stop.
Following a high-speed pursuit that ended in a crash, multiple law enforcement officers responded to the scene.
The driver, who was identified as 23-year-old Andrew Lloyd Collamore, got out of the vehicle and reportedly approached officers. A Taser was used but was ‘ineffective,’ leading to two Marinette PD officers discharging their weapons.
The two officers were identified as:
- Parker J. De Los Santos, 7 years of law enforcement service
- Marinette Police Department
- Andrew D. Bonjean, 19 years of law enforcement service
- Marinette Police Department

Authorities say that a sharp-edged weapon was found at the scene.
No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident. Both officers were placed on administrative duty.
No additional details were provided.
