Scumbag That Allegedly Killed MMA Fighter Jordan Parsons Tried To Hide It

Finally an arrest has been made in connection to the death of 25-year old mixed martial artist Jordan Parsons. The Bellator MMA fighter was a member of the famed Blackzilians team (also known as Jaco Hybrid Training Centre) in Florida.

The circumstances surrounding the final days of Parsons’ life are tragic, and the MMA world is now in mourning following his untimely death.

A rising prospect in the world of MMA, Parsons possessed a professional record of 11-2 (3 KO, 3 Sub, 5 Dec) and trained with the likes of UFC light-heavyweight contender Anthony Johnson and kickboxer/MMA fighter/boxer Tyrone Spong, among many other top names in combat sports.

The news that he’d been hit by a range rover while going out for an early morning last Sunday rocked the MMA community, and his situation worsened over the coming days, with no news of the driver the vehicle being caught. After having his leg amputated, Parsons was sadly pronounced dead on May 4th.

Now, the man that is alleged to have committed the crime has been caught, pretty much red handed.

The report, as per MMAFighting.com:

The DRBD believe the crash that killed Parsons, a member of the famed Blackzilians team, at 12:33 a.m. on May 1. Parsons walked across Federal Highway and Lindell Boulevard when Wright allegedly hit him while operating his mother’s Range Rover.

“A witness told investigators he thinks Wright was driving between 100 and 120 miles per hour when he hit Parsons, who was in the crosswalk. Parsons was wearing headphones and may have not heard the SUV coming.”

“The following day, an anonymous tipster gave investigators Wright’s name. They quickly discovered that Wright’s mother owns a grey 2013 Range Rover Sport and were able to determine that Wright was driving the vehicle the night of the crash. Wright made an effort to have the damaged Range Rover repaired at a local body shop, but the owner refused to do the work, so Wright rented a bay at a storage facility and hid the SUV,” according to the release.

“Investigators recovered it on Friday, and it was missing the driver’s side mirror officers recovered at the scene. Wright, who arrived at the police department Saturday afternoon with his attorney, also faces charges of driving while license suspended as a habitual offender and tampering with evidence.”

According to the police, Wright’s criminal history includes “arrests for DUI, disorderly intoxication, marijuana possession and assault on an officer or firefighter, among other charges.” While it is not known if Wright was intoxicated while driving, police say he was at Buddha Sky Bar on East Atlantic Avenue that evening.
