In the early morning hours of Sunday, September 4, 2022, the small community of Arlington, South Dakota, was disturbed by an act of violence that resulted in the death of 23-year-old Remington Bickett, a Caucasian male. Authorities were called to the scene of a shooting at approximately 5:10 a.m. Emergency medical services attempted life-saving measures on Bickett at the scene, but he was pronounced dead while being transported to the hospital in an ambulance.
The South Dakota Division
of Criminal Investigation took the lead in the ongoing investigation into Bickett's death, with assistance from the Kingsbury County Sheriff's Office, Arlington Ambulance, Arlington Fire Department, and the Brookings County Sheriff's Office. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, law enforcement officials sought to reassure the community, stating that they did not believe there was any ongoing threat to the public.
Despite the active investigation, details regarding the circumstances of the shooting have remained scarce. Online sources and news reports available in the years following the incident have not provided information about any arrests being made in connection with the case, nor have any suspects been publicly identified. The investigation into the death of Remington Bickett is still considered ongoing by the South Dakota DCI, leaving his family and the community awaiting answers.
