RAPID CITY, S.D. – Rapid City police say a suspect wanted in connection with Thursday night’s shooting on Haines Avenue has been arrested.
Authorities report that 21-year-old Tesean Richards has been located and safely taken into custody on a charge of attempted murder.
The arrest stems from a November 5th shooting in an alley behind the 900 block of Haines Avenue. Officers responding to the scene found an adult woman suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso. She was transported to a hospital with serious injuries.
Investigators identified Richards as the suspect through witness statements and physical evidence collected at the scene. Police had previously asked the public for help locating him and warned that he should be considered armed and dangerous.
With Richards now in custody, the investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
