ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) - A McLaughlin man has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison in the death of another man on the South Dakota side of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation last September.
The U.S. attorney’s office says 25-year-old Sinjin Cameron killed Titus Bobtail Bear during “a sudden quarrel and heat of passion” that included continuing to assault Bobtail Bear after he was unconscious.
Bobtail Bear died of head trauma. Court documents don’t list his age.
Cameron will be on supervised release for three years following his prison term.
