SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – Authorities say a man was found dead with a gunshot wound to the chest in a western Sioux Falls neighborhood.
Police responded to a call around 11:43 p.m. Wednesday to a report of a person lying in the street.
Police Lt. Terrance Matia identified the victim as 27-year-old Mitchell James Houchins. Police say Houchins was pronounced dead at a Sioux Falls hospital.
