A Minnehaha County Sheriff’s deputy who was shot Oct. 9 and later died was one of three deputies who had been dispatched to a western Sioux Falls home to detain the suspect on a mental illness detainer, Attorney General Marty Jackley said Friday.
Deputy Katherine Frank and two other deputies had been conversing with Brandon Oetken for nearly a half-hour in their efforts to detain him after family members requested the mental health warrant. The conversation started in the doorway of the residence before Oetken retreated inside the house.
