Julio Joseph Bald Eagle was a 19-year-old Native American man who died on the evening of December 27, 2016, in Kyle, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Obituary notices published in the days after his death placed the passing on that Tuesday and listed funeral services for early January 2017.

A U.S. Other officers arrived and found the first officer rendering aid. The man was reported found with two 9-millimeter firearms, methamphetamine, and roughly 200–300 rounds of ammunition.

Under tribal protocol the FBI was notified and agents responded to investigate; an autopsy was scheduled and the officer was placed on paid administrative leave while the investigation proceeded. Community reports at the time connected the death to a wider spike in gun violence and concerns about methamphetamine on the reservation, with residents awaiting more information from investigators.

If anyone knew Julio Bald Eagle or was in Kyle around December 27, 2016, does more information about that evening exist to share with investigators?
