Perry Parks

June 1, 2000

Woodbury

Parks was killed by Woodbury police officer Mike Pomeroy during an arrest at his home.  Police claim he was going for an officer's gun but Parks' wife and two daughters witnessed the incident and dispute this account.  They say that Parks had been pepper sprayed and was kneeling on the floor saying, "I can't see, I can't see" when Pomeroy shot him.
