A Taylor man is facing three felony charges after a verbal altercation between him and another man at a bar allegedly led to a shooting.
William Gonzalez Nunez Jr., 38, was arraigned in 46th District Court in Southfield and charged by Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald with assault with intent to murder, using a firearm in the commission of a felony and carrying a concealed weapon.
Nunez Jr. was arraigned in the 46th District Court on July 20 before Magistrate Sharon Woodside.
The court set bond at $200,000 cash/surety with a 10% provision.
A probable cause conference is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Aug 2 before Judge Debra Nance.
The charges stem from an incident that took place on July 17 at a bar near Evergreen and 10 Mile roads in Southfield.
According to the prosecutor’s office, the two men were at the bar and an argument ensued.
Security camera footage shows Nunez leave the establishment prior to the victim leaving.
It is alleged that Nunez parked his car on a side street by the bar, came back and allegedly ran up to the victim’s car, firing several rounds.
He was shot in the chest.
The status of his condition is not known.
Nunez was taken into custody and remains at the Oakland County Jail.

Carrying a Concealed Weapon is a felony punishable by up to five years imprisonment and/or up to a $2,500 fine and requires mandatory forfeiture of weapon.
McDonald spoke on the violence in a statement.
“This incident, like so many instances of gun violence, was completely preventable,” McDonald said. “Public safety is my number one priority, and we will continue to aggressively prosecute violent crime and acts of gun violence. I am also committed to addressing gun violence as a public health crisis and focusing on prevention to reduce the tremendous toll that gun violence takes on our community.”
