603. BREAKDOWN: The Linzell Parhm Shooting Case


Listen Later

22-Year old Linzell Parhm was fatally shot by a Fort Wayne Police officer late last month. The public protested to demand the release of the body-worn camera footage of the encounter. On a Saturday night, officers pulled over the suspect and "actions of the occupants inside the vehicle" caused the police officer to use deadly force. Police say the suspect was not been compliant to verbal commands and was reaching for a gun after being told to keep his hands on the dashboard. The suspect reached for the firearm, and the police officer shot twice and killed Parhm. So far the reason for the traffic stop has not been released. The officer has been placed on admin leave as the protestors took to the streets-- we wait at the edge for the next police incident to be turned into the political boiling point it was last election year. Will the killing of Parhm push the public back to the streets?


Breaking it down is former police officer Eric Tansey and Tyler from the Antihero Podcast. You will hear a police officer's perspective on a dangerous traffic stop where a weapon was involved, and hear their point of view on the justifiability of the shooting.
