Manhunt ongoing after suspect flees officer shooting
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – Authorities have released new information on the officer involved shooting that occurred on Friday, May 2, including the name of the suspect still at large. According to a Facebook post by the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety (OSTDPS), officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop on Highway 18 between Oglala and Pine Ridge at 6:30 a.m. The vehicle in question, a black Jeep Cherokee bearing Nebraska license plates, matched the description connected to an earlier tribal firearms complaint. The vehicle failed to yield and fled westbound on Highway 18 at a high rate of speed. Two OSTDPS officers deployed spike strips on Highway 18 in Fall River County, just outside the reservation boundary. As the vehicle approached, it swerved in the direction of the officers, prompting one officer to deploy their duty weapon in the direction of the threat. The pursuit continued into Nebraska and concluded in a rural area of Dawes County, where the driver, identified as Cody Dittman, fled the scene on foot. Officials say Dittman remains at large. Two additional occupants were in the vehicle. One sustained a non-life threatening injury and received medical care. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the subject should contact the OSTDPS dispatch at (605) 867-5111.
