A Nebraska Jury Acquits a Man of Murder in a 2020 Shooting
A jury has acquitted a man charged with first-degree murder in the 2020 death of a man who was on a motorized dirt bike when he was chased down by a car and fatally shot.
Daquandre Perry, 22, was found not guilty Wednesday in the death of 20-year-old John Parks Jr., the Omaha World-Herald reported.
Police have said Parks and a friend were riding their dirt bikes on a city street on July 26, 2020, when a black sedan began chasing them and at one point crashed into Parks’ bike. Parks ditched the bike and began running, but a person in the sedan fired several shots, hitting Parks in the neck, police said. Parks managed to scale a fence, but died in a back yard.
