SIOUX FALLS (AP) – The motive in the fatal shooting of a pizza delivery driver in Sioux Falls remains unclear as authorities continue to search for a suspect, police said.
Authorities have not yet identified the Domino's employee who died shortly after making a delivery to an east side home Wednesday night.
Samantha Brinkman tells the Argus Leader she heard the gunshots outside her apartment and thought it was a car backfiring.
Then she saw someone lying face down near the end of the driveway across the street. She and her boyfriend ran to help the victim.
"Another neighbor just a few town homes down was getting out there at the same time, rolled him over and took his wallet to check his name and call 911," Brinkman said. “My boyfriend stopped the bleeding, and I'm holding his head and checking his pulse. There was still a faint pulse, he was gasping for air and it was just really horrible.”
Investigators combed the neighborhood Thursday for clues about the suspect who fled from the scene on foot.
The victim's place of employment was five minutes from where he died, and his colleagues closed the store Thursday to allow time for employees to process what happened, review safety procedures and grieve, according to one employee.
