Northwestern SD Man Arrested On Manslaughter Charge

LEMMON, S.D. (AP) — A northwestern South Dakota man accused of participating in a shooting is facing a manslaughter charge.

South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley says 22-year-old Brady Hooker was arrested over the weekend. Jackley says Hooker shot 32-year-old Leon Paulsen following an incident at Hooker’s home in Lemmon.

Authorities have not released details of the incident that resulted in the shooting.

It’s unclear whether Hooker has an attorney. His first-degree manslaughter charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.
