OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/23/2022, a 32-year-old Native American man was shot and killed by a Bureau of Indian Affairs officer at a residence near Pryor on the Crow Indian Reservation. The FBI's Salt Lake City Field Office subsequently took responsibility for investigating the fatal shooting. The man's name was not released in the available public reporting.
.
The encounter began when Bureau of Indian Affairs officers and BIA Office of Justice Services agents responded to what the FBI described as a domestic situation at a residence. This was not a traffic stop, warrant service or pursuit. According to the FBI, after officers arrived they determined that the man had taken several people hostage inside the residence.
.
The FBI did not publicly describe what precipitated the domestic situation, identify the hostages, or provide a detailed chronology of what occurred between the officers' arrival and the shooting. Public reporting confirms that a BIA officer shot and killed the man during the hostage incident.
.
Five adults required medical treatment following the incident. The FBI did not disclose the nature or severity of their injuries or specify whether they were injured by gunfire or through other circumstances during the hostage situation.
.
The FBI investigated the killing because the shooting involved federal Bureau of Indian Affairs law-enforcement personnel on the Crow Indian Reservation. The FBI's initial 08/25/2022 statement provided only limited information and said the investigation remained ongoing.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND:
.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs officer who fired the fatal shots was not publicly identified in the available records.
