A dispute over stolen firearms in Sioux Falls turned fatal on November 4, 2025, when 43-year-old Bonita Bunz Tawacin Keeble was shot and killed at an apartment complex near 43rd and Larch. Court documents say the conflict began earlier after shots were fired and 18-year-old Kray Bluebird and a juvenile were ejected from an apartment without their weapons. Later text messages allegedly included a threat from Bluebird to shoot up the apartment.

Police say Bluebird then forced his way into the unit and opened fire with a rifle. Officers found Keeble on the kitchen floor with heavy blood loss; an autopsy attributed her death to a gunshot wound to the pelvic region. Another woman in the apartment was wounded in the hand while hiding in a closet. Investigators located Bluebird in a nearby apartment; the rifle used was reportedly stolen from a vehicle in the area. Bluebird has been charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and other offenses and is being held on a one million dollar bond.
