The Woodbury County Attorney has ruled Sioux City police were justified in shooting an armed suspect to death during a traffic stop last December.
That’s Woodbury County Attorney Patrick Jennings. He talked about the shooting of 36-year-old Daniel Riedmann during a news conference(Friday).
Sioux City Police had stopped a vehicle with a female driver and a passenger on the evening of December 7th. The passenger was Riedmann, who was from Dakota Dunes, South Dakota. The officers learned there was an arrest warrant for Riedmann, who was to be considered armed and dangerous. Officer Jordan Burns saw a handgun on the rear seat behind Riedmann. Jennings says Officer Dylan Grimsley shot Riedmann as the suspect began reaching for something.
