Nazire Parks, 14, and Kamyla Young, 13, died and four other teens were injured when the Kia Soul they were in crashed into a tree in rural Boone County on Sept. 3, 2021.
"The actions of individual defendants shocked the conscience and exceed all realms of expectations for how law enforcement officers are expected to act," lawyers said in the suit. Nazire, the driver, refused to stop. Three Lawrence officers chased the Kia onto I 65 and into Boone County, hitting speeds of 90 mph at times, according to the lawsuit.
"He was the freshest little dude and never took nobody's kindness for weakness," Parks said."What it took to get to this point? it took a lot of pain and just knowing that determination that I can't stop until I get justice for Nazire and the kids that was in the car." Lawrence Police Chief Gary Woodruff said at the time that Lawrence officers weren't in an"active pursuit" when the crash occurred.
