SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A Sioux Falls man could spend the rest of his life in prison after a jury found him guilty of killing another man outside of a casino in the city last year.
Jared Stone was convicted Wednesday of second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter, along with drug and weapons counts. The jury found him not guilty of the most serious charge - first-degree murder. A sentencing date wasn’t immediately set.
Stone was charged following the shooting death of 28-year-old Baptiste White Eyes on April 22, 2016, following a fist fight. Stone was arrested in Wyoming five days later following a multistate manhunt.
Stone’s defense attorney maintained that White Eyes was the aggressor in the encounter.
