Woman charged in connection with fatal shooting makes court appearance

RAPID CITY, S.D. – A woman arrested this week in connection with a fatal shooting made her initial court appearance Thursday.

Pam White Butterfly, 28, is charged with one count of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree attempted murder.

The charges stem from an incident which occurred on Sunday when White Butterfly allegedly shot Lenart Brown Eyes and another man, killing Brown Eyes and leaving the other critically injured.

If convicted of first-degree murder, White Butterfly faces either the death penalty or life in prison without parole.

She is being held on a $2 million bond.

White Butterfly’s next court appearance has not been set.
