The suit, filed in New Orleans by Donna Lou and her husband, Daren Parsa, says they had to watch as their only child, Eric Parsa, suffocated in a shopping center parking lot in suburban Metairie on Jan. 19, 2020. The allegations in the lawsuit include excessive force and violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
“We are private people . but we understand that sharing Eric s story is the only way to bring change,” Lou said, weeping as she read a statement during a news conference on Zoom. Because she and her husband are witnesses, they could not answer questions, attorneys said.
Eric regularly played laser tag, which he enjoyed. But after the Jan. 19, 2020, session at the Metairie strip mall, he went into a “melt-down” and began slapping himself and slapping and grabbing his father, biting his father hard enough to draw blood, according to the lawsuit.
