RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Police say a man who was shot at a Rapid City hotel last month has died of his injuries.

Nineteen-year-old Myron Pourier of Porcupine was shot March 19 at the Grand Gateway Hotel and died Sunday at a hospital.

His alleged assailant is being held on $1 million cash bond at the Pennington County Jail.

Rapid City police officers were dispatched to the hotel about 4:30 a.m. that Saturday after a report of a disturbance.

Once on scene, they were notified a gun had been fired in one of the rooms.

Police then found Pourier and rendered first aid. After interviews with witnesses, the suspect was arrested.
