Attorney General Marty Jackley announced April 21 that the South Dakota Supreme Court has upheld the second-degree murder and aggravated assault convictions of Braiden McCahren. A Tripp County jury convicted McCahren of second-degree murder for the shooting death of Dalton Williams, as well as aggravated assault committed against Tyus Youngberg. McCahren was sentenced to 25 years in the state penitentiary, with 15 years suspended, for the murder conviction. He received a 15- year penitentiary sentence for the aggravated assault conviction, which is being served at the same time as the sentence for murder.
The trial was moved to Winner following a change of venue.
