Grand jury indicts Spirit Lake Reservation man for murder and manslaughter
Death of his brother and his missing girlfriend
FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — A federal grand jury has indicted 26-year-old D’Angelo Hunt of St. Michael, North Dakota, with ten federal felonies including murder and manslaughter.
On November 17, Hunt was charged by criminal complaint with second degree murder of his brother, Isaac Hunt.
His remains were found last month on Spirit Lake Reservation after going missing in March 2024.
Some of the counts contained in the indictment are related to the disappearance of D’Angelo Hunt’s girlfriend, Jemini Posey.
She has not been heard from since January 7, 2024.
Hunt’s charges are as follows: Three Counts of Assault Resulting in Substantial Bodily Injury to a Spouse, Intimate Partner, or Dating Partner; Two Counts of Assault of a Spouse, Intimate Partner, or Dating Partner by Strangulation; Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury; Voluntary Manslaughter; Second Degree Murder within Indian country; Tampering with Evidence; and Use of Fire to Commit a Felony.
“Today’s unsealing of this Indictment marks an important step toward justice in a case that has weighed heavily on the victims’ families and the Spirit Lake community for more than two years, said United States Attorney Nicholas W. Chase. “No indictment can undo their loss, but it affirms our commitment to pursuing accountability with care, diligence, and resolve. Of course, an Indictment is not proof of guilt, and the Defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Violent crime remains one of the highest priorities of this office, and we will continue to devote the resources necessary to hold violent offenders accountable. I want to commend our law-enforcement partners, who have worked tirelessly and followed every lead to move this case forward. The investigation in this case is ongoing, with the goal of bringing a family some measure of closure through the recovery of J.M.P.”
