Overview

  • Authorities identified the remains through DNA as Carmine Boccuzzi, 79, whose death was ruled a homicide caused by blunt impact injuries to the head and torso with gagging.
  • Jed Parkington, 63, died by suicide from a gunshot wound to the head after an hours-long standoff at his Oaklawn Avenue home, according to the medical examiner.
  • The confrontation began when a state marshal arrived to carry out a foreclosure eviction and Parkington refused to leave, leading to a Special Response Team deployment and failed negotiations.
  • Inspector general video and reports show Parkington fired on armored BearCat vehicles, shot down police drones, and that drones later documented grenades, a pipe bomb, and improvised explosive devices inside the home.
  • A state marshal reported Parkington wore a military-style shirt with a Nazi insignia, and investigators released audio of him voicing housing frustrations as multiple agencies continue parallel investigations.
