I as a psychiatrist have never known a PD patient with Schizophrenia but I believe it can happen. There are different arreas of the brain involved and the dopamine receptors involved in movement disorders are slightly different than those involved in schizophrenia. In schizophrenia the holy grail is to find a drug which acts exclusively on the receptors involved in cognition and avoid action on those involved in movement disorders. I hope this helps.
