JuJuan
Parks
Charged
in
Homicide
of DPD
Officer
Rasheen
McClain
DETROIT
-
Prosecutor
Kym
Worthy
charged
JuJuan
Parks,
28 (DOB:
02/01/1991),
of
Detroit,
in
connection
with the
homicide
of
Detroit
Police
Officer
Rasheen
McClain,
42, and
the
non-fatal
shooting
of
Officer
Philippe
Batoum-Bisse.
On
November
20,
2019, at
7:05
p.m.,
Officers
McClain
and
Batoum-Bisse
responded
to a
disturbance
at a
home in
the
20040
block of
Wyoming.
McClain
and
Batoum-Bisse,
with
other
responding
officers,
Danny
Chambers
and
Joseph
Weaver,
entered
the home
and,
while
going
down
into the
basement,
came
under
fire.
It is
alleged
that
Parks
fatally
shot
Officer
McClain
in the
neck and
non-fatally
wounded
Officer
Batoum-Bisse
in the
leg.
Both
were
taken to
a local
hospital
where
Officer
McClain
succumbed
to his
injury
and
Officer
Batoum-Bisse
received
treatment
for his
injury.
Chambers
and
Weaver
observed
Parks
fleeing
from the
house on
foot,
and the
three
exchanged
gunfire.
During
the
gunfire
Parks
was
wounded
in the
arm.
Parks
was
arrested
a block
away and
taken to
a local
hospital
for
treatment
of his
injuries.
Prosecutor
Worthy
said,
“As the
allegations
surrounding
the
heartbreaking
death of
Officer
McClain
unfold,
we
continue
to do
what is
necessary
to bring
his
assailant
to
justice.
There
cannot
be a
rush to
judgment.
We
charge
JuJuan
Parks
with the
death of
Officer
McClain
today,
but I
would
like to
caution
everyone
that
this
investigation
is
far-reaching
and is
not
over. As
always,
we will
be
thorough
and
complete.
Only the
path of
justice
and
nothing
else
will
dictate
further
action."
