Kyle Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Second Degree Murder

For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, District of South Dakota

United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Kyle, South Dakota, man convicted of Second Degree Murder following a jury trial in June 2017 was sentenced by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court.

Marlin Iron Crow, age 46, was sentenced on June 13, 2019, to 20 years in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

The conviction stemmed from Iron Crow killing a man in November 2016 at Porcupine, by punching and kicking him in the head during an argument.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Megan J. Poppen prosecuted the case.

Iron Crow was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
