COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A Powder Springs man will spend the rest of his life in prison for shooting another man 18 times in a dispute over a parking space.
Harold Antonio Parks, 42, was found guilty Friday of malice murder, two counts of felony murder, aggravated assault, and firearms possession charges in the death of 27-year-old Terrence Washington Jr., the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office said.
On the morning of Sept. 16, 2013, Parks — who often argued about parking spaces near his residence at a Twin Hills Road apartment complex in Austell — confronted Washington’s girlfriend about where she had parked her vehicle overnight, authorities said. Washington intervened.
Parks went to his apartment and got a .9mm handgun, then came back outside and shot Washington 18 times, prosecutors said. He fled the scene and was arrested three months later.
Parks, who has a prior shooting conviction, was sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
