Police: Robbery was motive in Sioux Falls killing
DIRK LAMMERS, Associated Press

• SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) -- A 20-year-old man who was shot and killed in his Sioux Falls home was the target of a robbery, police said Tuesday.
• Jordan Duane LeBeau and his 48-year-old father were shot with a handgun Monday afternoon inside their home in a northwest Sioux Falls neighborhood, police spokesman Sam Clemens said. LeBeau died from the injuries and his father was hospitalized.
• Clemens said LeBeau knew the men suspected of killing him.
• "It was not a random act," Clemens said during a Tuesday news conference. "Jordan's home was targeted."
• Agents from the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation on Tuesday arrested an 18-year-old Watertown man and a 17-year-old Watertown man in separate parts of that city on suspicion of murder, attempted murder, burglary, robbery and aggravated assault. Both were in custody in Watertown.
• Police said detectives learned through their investigation that the men were inside the house at the time of the shooting.
• Earlier Tuesday, two other suspects were taken into custody in the Dell Rapids area, about 20 miles north of Sioux Falls, but neither of those 20-year-old men is accused in the killing. They were arrested on suspicion of burglary, aggravated assault and aiding and abetting robbery related to the incident, Clemens said.
• Minnehaha County Sheriff Mike Milstead said one of the men arrested Tuesday was picked up at an auto shop just outside of Dell Rapids. Sheriff's deputies believed the other man was inside a house across the street from St. Mary's Elementary School, so the school was put under a "secure perimeter and stay put" order as officers surrounded the house. School officials moved students away from the north side of the building.
• "School was able to go on as normal but they just had to use different classrooms," Milstead said.
• Authorities then got a tip that the second suspect was actually working on a hog farm outside of town, so officers made the arrest there.
