The South Dakota Highway Patrol announced last week that Ivan Reddest, Jr., 24, a Kyle, South Dakota man, died as a pedestrian in Box Elder, a town next to Rapid City. Reddest was a tribal citizen of the Oglala Sioux Tribe from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. All were young and pedestrians walking along South Dakota highways.
Tuesday morning, when his trial was scheduled to begin, a 35-year-old Samuel Silk pleaded no contest to first-degree manslaughter after a winter 2021 stabbing.
