How they died
Deadly force
Officer Keith McGull shot Stanley Parker in the back after Parker and three other teens ran away from his unmarked patrol car. The other youths said they panicked when McGull's green Chevy Lumina sped toward them just before 1 a.m. on Labor Day. There had been several drive-by shootings in the neighborhood and the teens thought the officer's car belonged to gang members. The youths ran down the alley and were met at the other end by McGull, who said he gave a verbal warning and fired 9 shots at Parker after being fired upon. The other teens said McGull didn't say anything and that none of them fired a gun. McGull was fired in December 2005 after he pleaded guilty to charges that he slashed the tires of a suspect's car.
