About 10:40 p.m. on Feb. 10, Parker was reportedly naked and "acting erratically" outside of Burger King. He was bleeding, sweating profusely and lying in the median of the street. Traffic was shut down in an attempt to limit his interaction with passing vehicles. Officers attempted to subdue him and he began to punch violently, according to police, and hit an officer. Sgt. David Northway used his Taser and handcuffed him. He stopped breathing and died later.
