Davison County Sheriff's Office investigating shooting at I-90 off ramp
According to Steve Harr, sheriff for Davison County, a passerby contacted law enforcement about the incident at about 9:30 p.m. When responders arrived on the scene, they found a vehicle parked on the Betts Road exit westbound off ramp and an individual with a gunshot wound.
The individual, whose name is not being released at this time, was taken to Avera Queen of Peace Hospital in Mitchell where they later died. Harr said the Davison County Sheriff's Office is still looking into the incident and has made no conclusions as of Sunday afternoon, but the preliminary investigation suggests the death could be a result of suicide.
"It's pretty early yet, and everything is still under investigation," Harr told the Mitchell Republic.
The off ramp was closed during the investigation but reopened to traffic later in the evening. Harr said there was no danger to the public stemming from the incident and the investigation is still underway.
In addition to the Davison County Sheriff's Office, other responding agencies included the Mitchell Regional Ambulance Service and the South Dakota Highway Patrol.

Officials in the Twin Cities said a string of armed robberies prompted a countywide alert Sunday morning. The alert was sent to all of Ramsey County, the sheriff's office there said, following robberies at gunpoint at two gas stations in Roseville and one in Little Canada, Minnesota. The sheriff's office believes the same person committed all of the robberies. During the third incident, the suspect assaulted a store clerk. After the third robbery, authorities located the suspect vehicle and chased it into St. Paul, where the driver crashed near Pierce Butler Route and Prior Avenue. Multiple people ran from the vehicle into nearby woods, and one suspect was arrested after a search, the sheriff's office said. The alert, sent out around 10:20 a.m., notified residents of police activity near the State Fairgrounds. An update sent just over an hour later said the police activity was cleared.
