SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (NewsNation) — A South Dakota man accused of killing a neighbor whom he had allegedly been told sexually abused a child was found not guilty of murder Friday.

Dylan Farmer was charged with first and second-degree murder in the 2024 fatal shooting of Casey Shaffer in Sioux Falls.

After his arrest in 2024, Farmer told police he was contacted by a woman to remove Shaffer from her home after she accused Shaffer of sexually assaulting her son.
