Harms and Parker were picked up by Richard Dee Garrett, who is already in police custody. Garrett told police that while traveling to Evansville’s West Side, Harms and Parker stopped to change clothes before parking near a residence on W. Virginia Street.  Police say that Parker retrieved a handgun from a backpack before exiting the vehicle.

According to an affidavit, Harms and Parker had planned to kill one of the victims in a robbery, and that a fourth person was in on the plan and had provided the handgun.
