Authorities say Parrish was driving his brother's car Aug. 19, 2012 when he lost control of it, crashed through two fences and hit another car. Jones says Parrish was involved in an argument with the owner of the other car and Lumpkin intervened by pulling him away.
Jones says Parrish was then involved in a fight with several other people and fired shots into the crowd, wounding Lumpkin in his chest.
