The Fremont County Coroner confirmed the death was a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. The Sheriff’s Office assisted Wind River Police and the Bureau of Indian Affairs at the scene. Because the location is on the Wind River Reservation, federal agencies including the Bureau of Indian Affairs have jurisdiction. No information has been released about suspects or arrests, and official details remain limited.
