F.B.I Increases Reward to $10,000 for East Lee Murder
By Lakota Country Times Staff
www.lakotacountrytimes.com Nearly eight months have passed since the murder of 19-year-old East Lee. Since then, no arrests have been made and the perpetrators will walk free. The Minneapolis office of the FBI is asking for the public’s help in solving the murder of Lee, who was an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. The FBI is hoping that a $10,000 reward leading to the arrest of those who murdered Lee will encourage individuals who might know information to come forward.
