Shooting pushes community on Pine Ridge Reservation into action

PINE RIDGE -- Pine Ridge has for the past few decades had a problem with violent crime. This past Sunday, October 16 this trend was intensified as a tribal-citizen was gunned down in broad daylight.

On Sunday, multiple unknown gunmen ambushed Vinny Brewer III outside of the SueAnne Big Crow Youth Development Center just east of Pine Ridge village. The assailants sprung from two vehicles Sunday afternoon prior to firing off multiple rounds that killed Brewer, while bystanders fled, and a basketball tournament was taking place only feet away inside of the Center.

"We were playing our game and all of a sudden we hear somebody say 'they have guns'," said one witness. "We all just stopped playing and ran for the back doors," they added.
