Booker T. Parrow, a 68-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on August 22, 2016, in the South Side Douglas neighborhood of Chicago. Police found Parrow with gunshot wounds after responding to a domestic dispute; he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Investigators allege the shooting followed a heated argument that escalated into violence. A person described as being in a relationship with Parrow was taken into custody for questioning and later faced first-degree murder charges. The prosecution presented evidence and witness testimony that a motive and intent to kill existed, while the defense argued the shooting was self-defense and pointed to a history of volatile disputes between the two.

The case was tried in Cook County Circuit Court where the jury deliberated on those competing narratives. Are there readers who knew Booker Parrow or who have information about the events that night?
