South Dakota Supreme Court upholds murder conviction of Spearfish man
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – The South Dakota Supreme Court has upheld a murder conviction for a Spearfish man who was involved in the shooting death of his wife in 2022.
Thursday, the state supreme court determined that a Lawrence County jury was correct in finding 33-year-old Dreau Lester Rogers guilty of second-degree murder for the shooting death of his wife Destiny Rogers.
On Jan. 22, 2022, at a Spearfish home, Destiny was shot in the shoulder at approximately 12:48 a.m. A Spearfish Police officer arrived at the scene and discovered her lying on the living room floor and wasn’t breathing.
She was then taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Rogers claimed another man, Donovan Derek, was at the house that night, and he was the one that pulled the trigger.
In addition to the second-degree murder conviction, Rogers was also convicted on other counts and was sentenced to life in prison.
