RAPID CITY (AP) - Three of six Pine Ridge men charged with murder in the death of a 30-year-old man a year ago have now pleaded guilty.
The Rapid City Journal reports that Jerome Warrior pleaded guilty on Friday in the July 12, 2015, death of Ferris Brings Plenty.
Suspects Steven Steele and Terry Goings III also pleaded guilty to second-degree murder earlier. The cases against the other three suspects are ongoing. Calmer Cottier, Albert Cottier and William Bluebird all have pleaded not guilty.
Authorities allege the men killed Brings Plenty with a machete, a stick, a bat and a cinder block.
