Rapid City Police are investigating the city’s second homicide in less than 24 hours. They say the victim is a young male about 20 years old. Wednesday afternoon, just before 3 pm, Police received a call about an unresponsive man in the backyard of a home in the 300 block of East Adams Street. According to the RCPD, when emergency responders arrived they found a young male in the backyard of the home and determined he was deceased with a gunshot wound to the head. Police are treating it as an active homicide investigation. Police are not releasing the victim’s name until his relatives have been notified.
