A new stoplight should have an optical trigger (in which case you shouldn't have any difficulty triggering it).
But an older one will have a magnetic trigger, and there's nothing you can do on a carbon-framed bicycle. Motorcycles (especially older ones with steel frames) ordinarily have enough steel to trigger a magnetic light - in the crankshaft if not in the frame. Bicycles are something different. Just treat it as a stop sign and go through it as you would a stop sign. If you get pulled over... well that means there's a cop there, and your primary problem is solved.
Hugs to you (and to the victim), that is scary, but Trek and others have a very good point. Crime is actually much lower than it was years ago, but you'd never know it from listening to the news.
