After being indicted in January 2023 for a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon related to a February 2022 shooting, Kamron Nail took a plea agreement at the beginning of April for 10 years deferred adjudication.

Nail, 19, of Young County, was indicted Jan. 27, 2023 on the 2nd degree charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

He accepted a plea agreement Friday, April 5 for 10 years deferred adjudication, forfeiture of the firearm used in the incident to Graham Police Department, a fine of $5,000 and $180 restitution.

Some of the conditions of his community supervision include that he must perform 320 hours of community service for a nonprofit, charitable or government organization assigned by the Community Supervision Department. He will also not be able to possess or purchase any firearms during the duration of the community supervision.

At approximately 9:38 a.m. Feb. 21, 2022, a GPD officer conducted a traffic stop at the 700 block of Carolina Street. The vehicle had previously been observed leaving an apartment at the 1000 block of Fourth Street.

During the stop, a male subject jumped out of the vehicle and informed the GPD officer that he had been shot. The subject from the vehicle, identified as Andrew Robert Lara, of Graham, was transported to Graham Regional Medical Center and later flown to United Regional in Wichita Falls.

When officers arrived at the apartment complex on Fourth Street, a perimeter was set around the complex. Young County dispatch later reported Nail contacted 911 and was going to come out of the apartment.

Texas Department of Public Safety Texas Rangers were on the scene and orchestrated a surrender by Nail to GPD.
