SF police searching for parolee wanted for a shooting
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – Sioux Falls police are looking for a 28-year-old parolee wanted in connection with a shooting. According to court documents, Dustin Gallegos Jr. shot another man during a drug-related incident, not far from the police station, on Wednesday morning. It left the victim with a fractured left femur. It was around 9:30 Wednesday morning when Sioux Falls Police officers were dispatched to this area on West 2nd Street. When they arrived, court documents say they found a 39-year-old man in a parking lot with several injuries, a bloody face and a gunshot to his left thigh. 1 arrested for selling fentanyl after overdose The victim told police a man came up to him asking for money, but when he said he didn't have any, the man shot him. A witness living nearby told police she heard yelling that morning, followed by a 'pop, pop.'When she looked out her window, she saw a man lying by a tree and a gray sedan leaving the area, which she got video of. Court documents say that the video led detectives to a 24-year-old woman who told police that 'Dusty' did the shooting. The woman came here to the police station, where she told detectives she had 'Dusty' on Facebook. When she pulled up his profile, police were able to identify the man as Dustin Gallegos Jr. According to court documents, the woman told police she met Gallegos Jr. to buy narcotics atan apartment on West 2nd Street where multiple people were, including a man who she had given money to the night before for drugs. That man was the victim in this case. 'There was a discussion between them, they went outside, the woman went to a car,' Sam Clemens with the Sioux Falls Police Department said. 'The two men went a little distance away and then there were gunshots that happened. The victim was shot in the leg. The suspect and the woman left.' Clemens says the two men and the woman knew each other, so since this wasn't a random crime, there's a little less worry when it comes to public safety. 'Because they know each other, it's a little bit different. If it was a stranger crime, where there was no connection between the two of them, we'd probably be a little bit more concerned about the public,' Clemens said. 'In this case, it doesn't seem that there's an overt threat to the public but we still want people to be aware of that and certainly if they know where he's at, to call police.' Gallegos is listed as an active parolee after serving time in prison on meth charges. His arrest warrant is for two counts of aggravated assault. It includes a $100,000 cash bond.
