The Pennington County Sheriff’s Office said they’ve arrested an Ellsworth airman in connection to the murder of a woman whose remains were found near Hill City.
Quinterius Chappelle is being held in the Pennington County Jail for the murder of Sahela Sangrait.
Chappelle is being charged in federal court with second-degree murder.
Sangrait’s remains were found March 4, after she was reported missing last August. Investigators say the murder occurred on base, so the U.S. Attorney’s Office has jurisdiction to prosecute the case.
Anyone with information related to the case is asked to contact the Rapid City FBI office.
