Henry Parker

Henry Parker, 30, of Wichita, KS was sentenced to 25 years in prison for firing multiple gunshots at police officers during a June 2, 2020 protest in north Wichita following the death of George Floyd. To disperse the crowd, SWAT officers fired tear gas; Parker fired on the officers, striking 1-2 officers' riot helmets. He was found guilty July 22, 2022 and sentenced in February 2023. According to court records, Parker "was upset when a woman he called his sister was hit with a rubber bullet while she held a baby."

The March 1, 2023 Blade-Empire reproduces an Associated Press report that Parker, age 30, was sentenced the preceding Monday, February 27, to twenty-five years for twenty-one counts of aggravated battery against law-enforcement officers arising from a 2020 Wichita protest. Prosecutors alleged he fired at officers after a woman identified as his sister was struck by a rubber bullet while holding a baby; the defense disputed the timing and offered an alibi. Twenty-five years describes the sentence imposed, rather than time already served. Source: https://alpha.creativecirclecdn.com/beloit/files/20240430-105542-coble_327442_20230301.pdf#page=1
