Huron, South Dakota –

Ricardo Hein, 23, was found dead Thursday evening at a mobile home park in southwest Huron.

Police said a woman placed a 911 call at 5:31 p.m. stating that someone tried to break into a home and that the intruder might have been shot.

Authorities released no other details.

Two other deaths in Huron this year have resulted in criminal charges.

Christopher Aguayo, 23, and Shannon Flowers, 42, both of Huron, have pleaded not guilty to murder charges. Aguayo is being held at the South Dakota State Penitentiary for violating probation, while Flowers is being held in the Beadle County jail without bond.

The shooting death of Richard Bosque-Gonzalez and the beating death of Brittney Chua occurred within a week of each other in late February.

Police Chief Doug Schmitt said the public should not fear for its safety because the parties in all three cases knew each other. More on Daily Republic
