Police in South Dakota are investigating a theft, a burglary with car theft and hit-and-run, and a shooting spree involving two men.

Police in South Dakota are investigating multiple crime incidents reported in recent days. A Sioux Falls man, Nicolas Silva Martinez, was arrested Thursday evening after breaking into a home near West 85th Street and Southwestern Avenue around 5:30 pm. According to police, Martinez arrived at the residence driving a vehicle that was not his and wearing only boxer shorts and shoes. Officers responded to a welfare check call and found him inside the home, which the owner confirmed he should not have been in. Martinez had stolen two of the homeowner's vehicles from the garage. One vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run near 6th Street and Veterans Parkway around 10:00 pm that same evening, striking an electrical box before fleeing.

In a separate incident, two men were arrested after shooting at vehicles in southwest Sioux Falls early Friday morning. The first incident occurred near 41st Street and Kiwanis Avenue, where a rideshare driver reported a passenger pointing a handgun at his vehicle. A second shooting was reported near 34th Street and Louise Avenue, where multiple rounds were fired at a vehicle. Police arrested Brian Larvie, 47, of Sioux Falls and Christopher Horton, 40, of Williston, North Dakota. A search of their pickup truck recovered two handguns and ammunition matching shell casings from the shooting scene. Horvey faces a third-offense DWI charge and Larvie faces multiple aggravated assault charges.

A third incident involves police in Hot Springs searching for a theft suspect at a local business. The Hot Springs Police Department posted photos of the suspect and vehicle involved, asking the public for help in identifying them.
