RAPID CITY, S.D. – A 36 year-old Pine Ridge, S.D. man was convicted of robbery, carjacking, and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.

JT Myore was indicted by a federal grand jury in July 2021. He was charged in connection with two separate incidents. The first one occurred in August of 2019 when Myore and a co-defendant brandished firearms in order to carjack a Ford Freestyle from another male in Pine Ridge.
