Officer Sorrentino was shot and killed while chasing five suspects who had just robbed a club. He and his partner had split up to chase the suspects who had also split up. After his partner captured one of the suspects he heard shots fired and ran to the scene where he found Officer Sorrentino suffering gunshot wounds. He was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his wounds two weeks later. All five of the suspects were eventually apprehended and convicted. In January 2007, the only robber still alive was denied parole.
Officer Sorrentino was assigned to the 101st Precinct. He was survived by his wife and three children.
