Arlo Looking Cloud, a 49-year-old homeless man, was moved to Rapid City from Denver, where he was arrested last month, prosecutors said.
Looking Cloud could serve a mandatory life term if convicted of first-degree murder in the slaying of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash. He has pleaded not guilty. Pictou-Aquash was among Indians who occupied the village of Wounded Knee in 1973.
