FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) — Following the police-involved shooting over the weekend where 22-year-old Linzell Parhm was shot and killed by a Fort Wayne Police Department officer, national civil rights attorney Ben Crump, has been retained along with Indiana attorney Stephen Wagner by the family of Parhm, to help investigate the circumstances around the shooting.

As reported by our newsgathering partners at 21ALIVE, Crump has garnered national attention for his involvement in high-profile cases representing the families of people like George Floyd and Breona Taylor.

Wagner’s office says the partnership comes after the family was left with “many unanswered questions” after viewing the body cam footage.

Once again Bennie Crump swoops in to save he day……except his track record isn’t all that good. He makes a lot of money but he isn’t a very good lawyer. Perhaps the family would have been better off teaching solid character traits to their offspring.
