PIERRE, S.D. – A Hughes County Jury has found a Pierre man guilty of Second Degree Murder in the November 2023 stabbing death of 17-year-old Evie Maxey of Rapid City.
David Shangreaux, Jr., was convicted Wednesday (April 30, 2025) following a trial that lasted about a week. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
Maxey was found with multiple stab wounds in the bathroom of a Pierre apartment after police responded to a disturbance call on Nov. 30, 2023.
“This was a horrendous crime that warranted this verdict.” said Attorney General Marty Jackley. “My heart goes out to Evie’s family and thank you to the investigators and prosecutors for their challenging work.”
South Dakota’s Division of Criminal Investigation and Pierre Police Department investigated the case. The prosecution was conducted by the South Dakota Attorney General’s Office and the Hughes County State’s Attorney’s Office.
