SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Sioux Falls police have arrested a woman in a homicide that occurred about 3 ½ years ago.

Fifty-eight-year-old Daniel Eastman was beaten and stabbed in a downtown Sioux Falls alley in August 2011. He died in a hospital a few months later.

The killing went unsolved, but authorities have now arrested and charged 33-year-old Sadie Red Bear with manslaughter. It wasn’t immediately clear if she had an attorney.

Police Capt. Blaine Larsen says both Eastman and Red Bear were homeless at the time of his death, and Red Bear was identified as a person of interest early in the investigation. He says she was arrested after investigators reopened the case and conducted further interviews.
