Authorities arrest man wanted in connection with shooting death

RAPID CITY, S.D. — Pennington County Sheriff’s Office officials say they’re arrested a South Dakota man accused of shooting one man and injuring another.

Twenty-two-year-old Jamys Flying Horse, of Rapid City, was taken into custody about around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday on charges of first degree murder, attempted first degree murder and commission of felony with a firearm.

The warrant stemmed from a Sept. 6 shooting in Rapid City.

Authorities say Flying Horse and a juvenile were pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy about 2:15 a.m. when the deputy noticed the vehicle had no license plates.

The two suspects fled the scene. Flying Horse was apprehended about four hours later hiding in a creek, after law enforcement used a drone to help find him.
