I am reading an article from NYT and I have difficulties to link (1) the verb is to a subject (2) to determine the parallelism (since I think there is a comparison between 2 elements).
“The video’s release in Chicago comes as the trial of Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer accused of murdering George Floyd, is underway and as another Minnesota officer, Kimberly A. Potter, was charged in the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old motorist.”

Ooh, a grammar question. Thank you for sharing, khadijatahri. I will add to what ramlala has written above. How about we take this piece by piece?
The video's release—The subject is the release (of the video).
in Chicago—This is nothing more than a prepositional phrase.
comes—This is the verb that forms the predicate of the main clause, i.e. The release comes...
as the trial of Derek Chauvin... is underway—You have to include the last part to appreciate that this as component is acting as a dependent clause.
a former Minneapolis police officer accused of murdering George Floyd—This is what is known as an appositive phrase. The article a in the beginning tells us that the phrase is non-restrictive. The whole phrase modifies the proper noun Derek Chauvin.
and—You were correct in identifying this conjunction as a parallelism marker. When it is not preceded by a comma, it is typically used to join like entities, X and Y.
as another Minnesota officer... was charged—This is the parallel counterpart to the earlier as clause. But again, you are correct in saying that this is not exactly parallel to the earlier one, which brings me to my next point.
Kimberly A. Potter—The proper noun is not the appositive phrase of another Minnesota officer; rather, that part is the appositive, and it still modifies the name. The reason the name has commas around it is a bit nuanced. I discuss the point more in-depth in this post.
in the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright—This is another prepositional phrase, one that explains charged from before.
a 20-year-old motorist—Finally, we wrap up the sentence with another non-restrictive appositive phrase, this one modifying Daunte Wright.
Putting everything together,
Quote:
The basic, barebones structure, then, is the following:
[subject] + [verb] + [dependent clause with appositive phrase] + [conjunction] + [dependent clause with appositive phrase and prepositional phrase with a second appositive phrase]
I hope that clarifies your concerns. If you have further questions, feel free to ask. Good luck with your studies.
