Soldier arrested in Manhattan homicide

MANHATTAN (AP) – A Fort Riley soldier has been charged with first-degree murder in the New Year’s Day shooting of a Kansas National Guard member at a motorcycle group’s Manhattan clubhouse.

Riley County police and the county prosecutor said 25-year-old Spc. Daniel Patrick Parker made an initial court appearance Friday and remains held on $1 million bond pending his next appearance.

The prosecutor’s office did not know the name of Parker’s attorney.

Parker is accused of firing from a passing car at the “Assasin Street Rydaz” clubhouse around 4 a.m. on New Year’s Day, killing 21-year-old National Guard Spc. Frederick Charles Beverly, of
Manhattan.

Police said Parker had a disagreement with another member of the club.

Fort Riley officials said Parker is an active-duty soldier who has completed one-year two deployments to Iraq.
