Police say they found the body of Rapid City resident Farrel Phelps around 12:20 a.m. Thursday morning.

Anthony ‘Tayshawn” Moses Smith, of Rapid City, was charged with second-degree murder Thursday evening.

Officers responded to a report of a disturbance shortly after midnight at a home on Signal Drive and found Phelps’ body inside. Authorities say Phelps and Smith both lived at 50 Signal Drive.
