ESSEX, Md. — A jury has found a man guilty of fatally stabbing and slitting another man's throat outside an Essex Bar in August of 2020.

It all started with a dispute while the two were drinking inside Brewers Landing Bar & Grill, on Woodrow Avenue.

Prosecutors say 32-year-old Shawn Alan Parks, of Reisterstown, followed 25-year-old Roger Paul Walker outside and stabbed him multiple times with a knife.
