What was he convicted of?
• Lucas was indicted on three counts of felonious assault on March 4, 2024, for a shooting nearly two years ago in Dayton.
• He pleaded guilty to two of the counts in July. The third felonious assault charge was dismissed.
• Lucas was also convicted in two separate cases — one for failure to comply and possession of a fentanyl-related compound and another for failure to comply and having weapons while under disability — unrelated to the shooting.
What happened?
• On Sept. 23, 2023, a shooting was reported outside a club in the 1800 block of Needmore Road in Dayton.
• Lucas pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots at a crowd, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
• A person was reportedly shot in the arm and torso.
• Initially, Lucas’ sister, Jayla Lucas, was also facing felonious assault charges in the case. Her charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning the prosecutor’s office could file charges against her again, in September 2024.
