Summary based on 3 sources
In the winter of 2019, the life of 24-year-old Joseph Kendall Parlier was tragically cut short in Johnson City, Tennessee. A Caucasian male, Parlier was fatally shot on February 6, 2019. The incident occurred within an apartment complex, where he was discovered with a gunshot wound to his head.

The investigation into Parlier's death led authorities to 30-year-old Justin Willis. Willis was subsequently arrested and faced a charge of second-degree murder in connection with the shooting. The inquiry suggested that the act was not a random event, but rather a targeted incident.

Ultimately, the legal process saw Justin Willis plead guilty to a reduced charge of reckless homicide. As a result of his plea, he was sentenced to serve 12 months in jail for his role in the death of Joseph Parlier.
