A police affidavit gives more detail about a shooting in downtown Minot on July 26.

William Neal Lucy II, 42, Minot, is charged in district court in Minot with pistol whipping and then shooting Tyquan Markeez Graham, 22, whom he accused of committing an armed robbery shortly before the shooting. Lucy was then shot and wounded himself. Minot police have described the incident as a confrontation between two groups that were coming and going from the “Blacked Out Night” after-party held at the Ice Cold Ryders Clubhouse at 105 West Central Avenue. A third man, a 26-year-old who has not been identified, was shot in the foot outside the club during the exchange of gunfire.

Lucy has been charged with Class C felony aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon for pistol whipping Graham, Class C felony aggravated assault with a firearm for shooting Graham, Class C felony reckless endangerment-extreme indifference with a dangerous weapon for firing the gunshots, Class C felony felon in possession of a firearm, Class A felony possession of ecstasy with intent to deliver while in possession of a firearm and Class A felony possession with intent to deliver cocaine while in possession of a firearm. He is being held at the Ward County Jail on $250,000 cash or corporate surety bond.

Graham is in custody at the Ward County Jail on a charge that he robbed another man at gunpoint in the Sports on Tap parking lot at 1:41 a.m. July 26, a little less than an hour before the shooting downtown, and stole a firearm from the other man’s vehicle. Graham allegedly committed the robbery with an unidentified friend whom the alleged victim said was a black male. Graham told police he was with a friend at Ice Cold Ryders but denied committing the robbery. Graham has been charged with Class B felony robbery with a firearm and Class C felony felon in possession of a firearm in district court in Minot. Graham has not so far been charged in connection with the shooting.

According to the probable cause affidavit filed with the court in Lucy’s case, police had received a 911 call about gunshots being fired in the vicinity of the clubhouse. They then received information that there were people banging on the Trinity Hospital emergency room doors with someone who had a gunshot wound. Lucy was treated in the ER and taken into surgery. The 26-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his left foot and Graham, who had a gunshot wound to his right arm and hand, also were treated in the ER.

Hospital staff found drugs in Lucy’s clothing and reported it to police, who found seven bags of suspected cocaine and also ecstasy pills.

According to another police affidavit, Lucy has a past criminal record showing homicide/manslaughter, assault/harassment, and possession of a pistol by a violent felon. Lucy also reportedly acknowledged to police that he has ties with the Lincoln Park Bloods gang of San Diego, Calif.

Graham has a criminal record in North Carolina. According to news reports in The Pilot, a newspaper in Southern Pines, N.C., Graham, then 18, was charged in 2016 with discharging a firearm in a prohibited area and two counts of possession of firearms by a felon. Prior to the incident leading to the charges, Graham had been standing on the porch with a 12-year-old girl and his 3-year-old son when a 16-year-old boy fired shots from a passing vehicle, believed to have been targeting Graham. The girl was killed and Graham’s son seriously injured.

North Carolina prison records show Graham had been sentenced to a year in prison in Moore County, N.C., in 2014, when he was 16, for dealing in stolen property and misdemeanor offenses including trespass, possession of drugs, and possession of a gun by a minor. In April 2019, according to an article in the Sandhill Sentinel newspaper of North Carolina, Graham was on the Southern Pines, N.C., Police Department’s most wanted list for three outstanding arrest warrants for charges including assault by pointing firearm, possession of firearm by a convicted felon and discharge of a firearm into occupied property. He is not currently on the state’s list of people with open warrants in North Carolina.

Graham’s criminal record in North Dakota dates back to July 2019, when he pleaded guilty in Mountrail County to misdemeanors. In April, Graham pleaded guilty in district court in Ward County to Class B misdemeanor domestic violence. The state dismissed a Class C felony charge of felon in possession of a firearm.
