Mission Man Sentenced for Carjacking

Acting United States Attorney Dennis R. Holmes announced that a Mission, South Dakota, man convicted of Carjacking was sentenced on December 13, 2021, by Chief Judge Roberto A. Lange, U.S. District Court.

Eurico Da Silva-Roubideaux, a/k/a Eurico Roubideaux, age 20, was sentenced to 72 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Da Silva-Roubideaux was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 9, 2021.  He pled guilty on September 23, 2021.

The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on February 7, 2021 in Todd County, South Dakota.  On that date, Da Silva-Roubideaux was walking and was offered a ride by the victim as it was cold outside.  Once the two men arrived at a destination and exited the vehicle, Da Silva-Roubideaux struck the victim repeatedly with a hammer.  At that point, the victim ran away and Da-Silva Roubideaux got into the victim’s vehicle and drove away.

This case was investigated by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson prosecuted the case.

Da-Silva Roubideaux was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
