William Leo Parrish Jr. was a 40-year-old police officer with the Crenshaw Police Department in Mississippi when he was shot and killed on April 1, 1989. He had been with the department for one year and was a husband and father of two children.

Accounts conflict about how the killing unfolded. One report says he was fatally shot during a traffic stop. A local newspaper account says he had earlier tried to mediate a dispute between three individuals and another resident at the station and was shot during a later confrontation with those three people. The weapon is described only as a gun of unknown type.

Does anyone have information about Officer Parrish, his family, or the investigation that could help fill in these gaps?
