FARGO, N.D. (AP) - A man authorities say fatally stabbed another man and injured his nephew on the Spirit Lake Reservation last spring has been sentenced to life in prison.

Thirty-six-year-old Dallas Thundershield was accused of killing Richard Demarce Sr. and injuring Elvis Demarce in an April 2016 fight that began while the three were driving around with Thundershield’s girlfriend.

A jury in October convicted Thundershield of second-degree murder and three assault-related charges, including assault of his girlfriend at a Hamar residence.



He was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Fargo on Tuesday. Judge Ralph Erickson also ordered him to pay $150,000 in restitution.
