Bond was set at $1 million cash or corporate surety on Tuesday for LaGregory Keon Kollock, 32, Minot, who is accused of shooting another man in the face on Saturday.

Kollock made an initial appearance in court on Tuesday before Judge Richard Hagar.

Kollock told the judge he plans to plead not guilty to the Class A felony attempted murder and Class C felony terrorizing charges and claimed self defense.

“It happened so fast,” he said. “They jumped the fence and came across the street and rushed me.”

Kollock said he wanted a public defender but Hagar said his income is too high to qualify for a court-appointed attorney. That could change if he remains incarcerated and loses his job, said Hagar.

Ward County Assistant State’s Attorney Christopher Nelson told Hagar that he is concerned the victim of the shooting might not survive.

According to the probable cause affidavit filed with the court, there had been conflict between the parties prior to the shooting. Kollock had allegedly brandished a gun at another man prior to the shooting incident and told him that he “had something for him.”

That man left for awhile, then returned home, and two other men came to visit him at his residence. He said he overheard Kollock and the victim of the shooting exchanging insults. Kollock then allegedly pulled out his firearm and fired three shots in the direction of the alleged victim and of the two other men who were following him. The alleged shooting victim fell to the ground. The first man then saw Kollock run into the apartment complex, hand something to a woman and tell her to “get rid of it.”

The alleged victim was taken to Trinity Hospital for treatment of a bullet wound to his left forehead and right cheek. He also sustained bullet fragments to the midline chest, according to the affidavit.

Nelson told the judge he had reviewed Kollock’s Facebook page and Kollock had posted a live video threatening “snitches” before the shooting.

“I don’t remember making no video threatening nobody,” Kollock said.

The video Nelson referenced was posted on Kollock’s page on Saturday. Kollock then stated that he had been “playing” on Facebook.

Nelson then mentioned Kollock’s past criminal history, which Kollock protested had been pleaded down to lesser charges, which is accurate.

Nelson asked for the $1 million bond, which the judge agreed to. Hagar also ordered Kollock to have no contact with the alleged victim and other people associated with the incident.

A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for Dec. 17.
