Graham Man Shoots Father, Leaving Him Critically Injured Weeks After Family Violence Arrest
GRAHAM, Texas — A 22-year-old Graham man with a recent arrest on family violence charges is now accused of shooting his own father, leaving the 47-year-old victim critically injured in a small North Texas community about 90 miles west of Fort Worth.
Henry Luke Partin, 22, was arrested following a shooting reported around midnight on November 11, 2026, in the 500 block of South Street in Graham, a Young County town with approximately 8,850 residents.
The victim was identified as Henry Douglas Partin, 47, the suspect's father.
According to the Graham Police Department, multiple officers and Young County sheriff's deputies responded to the reported shooting shortly after midnight.
When officers arrived, they quickly located and detained a man believed to have been involved in the incident.
Following an initial investigation, officers arrested Henry Luke Partin on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
His bond was set at $300,000.
The elder Partin received emergency medical treatment at the scene before being transported to Fort Worth for further care. Police described his injuries as critical.
Suspect Arrested on Family Violence Charges Just Weeks Earlier
Young County arrest records show that the younger Partin had been arrested twice before the shooting, including a recent case involving accusations of violence against family members.
On July 2025, Partin was arrested on a public intoxication charge.
More recently, on September 26, 2026, he was arrested again for public intoxication, along with two counts of assault causing bodily injury to a family member.
Partin posted bond and was released the same day.
The September family violence case was still pending when he was arrested in connection with his father's shooting.
The earlier arrest records do not establish whether the September assault allegations involved his father or whether alcohol played any role in the November shooting.
Graham Police Open Investigation Into Shooting
The Graham Police Department has assigned an investigator to the case and opened a formal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Police have not identified a motive for the confrontation between the father and son.
Graham Police Chief Brent Bullock and the department thanked the Young County Sheriff's Office for assisting officers during the response.
