United States Attorney Brendan V.
Johnson announced that a Mission, South Dakota man charged with voluntary
manslaughter was sentenced on August 13, 2012, by United States District Judge
Roberto A. Lange. Ronald Kills In Water, age 29, was sentenced to 108 months in
custody, two years of supervised release, $1,000 in restitution, and a $100
special assessment to the Victim Assistance Fund.
Kills In Water was indicted by a federal
grand jury on November 8, 2011, and pled guilty to the charge on May 23, 2012.

beating of the victim, who was on the ground. The victim was beaten several
times, including with a baseball bat. The victim died as a result of his
injuries.
The investigation was conducted by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement
Services. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Tim
Maher.
