Airman Quinterius Chappelle, stationed at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota, was charged with second-degree murder in connection with the killing of Sahela Sangrait, whose badly decomposed body was found in March. Sangrait, a Native American woman, was reported missing last year and was last known to be staying in Eagle Butte. Chappelle, who entered the service in 2019, is accused of killing Sangrait on the base, though their relationship is not clear. The U.S. attorney’s office for South Dakota will prosecute the case, which involved multiple law enforcement agencies. Chappelle is being held in Pennington County Jail, with no bond set. Military officials stated they would hold service members accountable for their actions if found in violation of the law. Anyone with information about Sangrait’s killing is asked to contact the FBI’s Rapid City office.
