PIERRE South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley and the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation recently confirmed that Abe Joseph Boushee, 43, was the person who was found dead at a home in Brandon which was damaged by fire following a standoff with law enforcement on Feb. 12.
During the standoff, shots were fired at law enforcement. Law enforcement did not return fire; however, law enforcement deployed chemical agents into the residence. The residence eventually started on fire, and the suspect was found deceased in the home, Jackley said. DCI is leading the overall investigation, and the ATF and state fire marshal are assisting with the origin of fire in the investigation.
An autopsy will be conducted. The home was located at 113 W. Confier St.
The U.S. Marshals Service and the Brandon Police Department were at the home to make an arrest of Boushee. He was wanted on five outstanding warrants from Lincoln County, including felony drug offenses and possession of a firearm with an altered serial number. The remaining three warrants were two felony warrants for bond violations and a misdemeanor traffic warrant.
