PIERRE — State authorities say a search is underway for a Sioux City man sought in connection to a murder in Union County.
The South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and other law enforcement agencies are seeking 39-year-old Alfredo Castellanos-Rosales, of Sioux City, Iowa.
In a news release issued Monday, May 1, the DCI said a no-bond warrant has been issued for Castellanos-Rosales on one count of first-degree murder.
The charge stems from Wednesday, April 26, when 23-year-old Jordan Beardshear was found dead in a Dakota Dunes residence. Authorities determined her cause of death as homicide, but did not elaborate on the manner of death.
A young child was also safely recovered by police at the scene.
