Hundreds Gather At Bismarck Capitol to Honor Homicide Victim
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Native American music and prayers filled the Bismarck Capitol Mall where hundreds of people gathered to honor homicide victim Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind.
Many in the crowd Wednesday evening wore red to honor of indigenous women who are missing and murdered.
LaFontaine-Greywind was eight months pregnant when she disappeared Aug. 19. Her body was found in the Red River eight days later. Police found a newborn believed to be LaFontaine-Greywind's baby at a neighbor's upstairs apartment in Fargo. The couple who live in that apartment have been arrested and charged.
Communities across North Dakota are holding vigils for LaFontaine-Greywind, a member of the Spirit Lake Dakota tribe. Another gathering is scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursday in New Town. A vigil is also planned for noon on Friday at the tribal office in Fort Yates.
