Nathaniel John Parker III was 31 when he was shot and killed just before midnight on Sunday, December 3, 2023, at an apartment building at 513 9th Street in Sioux City, Iowa. First responders found him with a single gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooting followed a complicated period for Parker. Weeks earlier, on November 7, a Woodbury County jury had acquitted him of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of William Harlan. Parker was arrested again the next day, November 8, at the same 9th Street address; officers at that time reported he was not sober and had an apparent minor stab wound and other physical trauma.

Sioux City police described Parker’s killing as targeted, identified a suspect, and named two persons of interest. Officers later located and arrested 38-year-old Faron Alan Starr in the city; he was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Parker’s death. Does anyone with information about the 9th Street address or the events that night have tips to share?
