Two-Spirit person killed in South Dakota

A Two-Spirit member of the Lakota tribe, who was shot dead in South Dakota, has been remembered for ‘using laughter as medicine’.

Acey D Morrison was found dead with gunshot wounds in a home in Rapid City, South Dakota on 21 August after the owner of the property alerted police, according to local news outlet KELO.

Law enforcement identified a suspect shortly after the shooting and have confirmed the investigation is still ongoing.

Yet, few details about Morrison’s death have been released publicly, and it’s unclear whether charges have been filed despite the incident happening almost a month ago.
