Rapid City Prohibited Person Sentenced to One Year and One Day After Pistol Found Following Gunshot Through Apartment Wall
RAPID CITY — The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of South Dakota announced that U.S. District Judge Camela C. Theeler has sentenced Nicholas Murphy, 52, of Rapid City, South Dakota, for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. Murphy received one year and one day in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Forfeiture was also ordered. The sentencing took place on November 2, 2026, and U.S. Attorney Ron Parsons announced the result.
Murphy was indicted by a federal grand jury in February 2026 and pleaded guilty on August 24, 2026.
On December 3, 2025, law enforcement in Rapid City responded to a report of a gunshot heard inside an apartment building. Officers determined that a gunshot had gone off through Murphy's unit into another unit. During a safety sweep of Murphy's apartment, officers located ammunition along with a handgun holster and a safe; after executing a search warrant for the safe, they found a pistol inside.
Murphy is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition because of a prior felony conviction.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Rapid City Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Schroeder. Murphy was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
