United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Wounded
Knee, South Dakota, man convicted of Second Degree Murder was sentenced by
Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court.
Darwin Wade Red Cloud, a/k/a Darwin Raisch, age 26, was
sentenced on January 3, 2019, to 4 years in federal prison, followed by 5 years
of supervised release, and was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the
Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Red Cloud was charged on October 12, 2015. The conviction stems from Red Cloud knowingly
failing to provide sufficient sustenance to an infant, which resulted in the
baby’s death, between August and October 2014 at Wounded Knee.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Justice Services. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sarah B. Collins and
Ben Patterson prosecuted the case.
Red Cloud was immediately remanded to the custody of the
U.S. Marshals Service.
