Teca Lynn Clifford was 13 when she was shot and killed on Main Street in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, in the early morning hours of July 20, 2016. An Oglala Lakota girl born June 22, 2003, she attended Pine Ridge Elementary School and played basketball there.

The slaying came amid several fatal shootings on the reservation that summer, which increased fear in the community. By November 2016 a federal grand jury indicted 27-year-old James Robert Dowty of Pine Ridge on Second Degree Murder and Discharge of a Firearm during the Commission of a Crime of Violence in connection with Teca’s death. He was taken into custody, pleaded not guilty, and was held in Rapid City pending further proceedings.

If anyone knew Teca, saw her that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with authorities.
