As the officers ran to his car he was shot in the head when an officer's gun accidentally discharged. He died of his wound the next day.

Investigator Grosso was assigned to the Drug Enforcement Administration's New York Joint Task Force. He had been with the agency for 12 years and was survived by his parents and two brothers.
