'He was the sweetest little boy.' A 6-year-old boy's death in a drive-by shooting underlines the Oglala Sioux Tribe's frustrations with a short-handed police force. A judge is weighing whether inadequate law enforcement staffing violates U.S. treaties.
Her 6-year-old grandson, Logan Warrior Goings, jumped from the family’s loveseat and raced across the room to his grandfather — and was shot in the head. It took at least 15 minutes for a single tribal law enforcement officer to arrive, but by then, the drive-by shooters were gone, and Logan — a “kind and gentle” boy who loved Xbox and his Siamese cat, Simon — was dead.
“He was the sweetest little boy,” said Wilson, 62. “He was so helpful for grandma. He was my best partner.” Months later, a father and son who live near Wilson on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, home to the Oglala Sioux Tribe, were shot and killed by an intruder, and their bodies weren’t found for six days, she said. Just a few nights ago, Wilson’s oldest son was held at gunpoint in his home.These types of crimes have become increasingly common on the 5,400-square-mile reservation.
