RAPID CITY, S.D. – Bond was set at a million dollars Friday for a 45-year-old man who is charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of Dallas Quick Bear last weekend.
Judge Scott Bogue set bond as cash only for Timothy Huante, who is charged with the Feb. 20 shooting death of Quick Bear at Teddy’s Sports Bar in downtown Rapid City.
Huante appeared virtually in court from the Pennington County Jail. He had chains around his wrists and ankles spoke softly but did not comment on his bond.
The prosecutor said the state requested $1 million cash bond due to the severity of the charge and the belief that the suspect is a flight risk. The prosecutor told the judge that the defendant was in the nightclub and after shaking Quick Bear’s hand, shot him in the face.
Huante was arrested this week after interviews with police.
He could face the death penalty or life in prison without parole if convicted.
