Suspect in Slaying of Indian Activist Is Moved
One of two men accused of killing an American Indian Movement activist nearly 30 years ago has been transferred to South Dakota to stand trial in federal court.
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.
