A 30-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder after a shooting at a house party in Sioux Falls. Records show Justin Cody Rackley is being held pending a preliminary appearance in the deaths of three adults.

Sioux Falls police investigate after a deadly shooting on Saturday, June 8, 2024, in Sioux Falls, S.D. A shooting in a Sioux Falls neighborhood left multiple people dead and several others injured early Saturday, police said. Justin Cody Rackley is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Daniel Carl Kemnitz, 43; Kellie Elizabeth Reaves, 43; and Michael Andrew Thompson 34. All are from Sioux Falls.

Rackley is being held at the Minnehaha County Jail pending a preliminary hearing on June 25. His attorney did not immediately respond to a phone message. Lt. Aaron Nyberg said it’s too early to speak to a motive or any relationships involved, although he said it doesn’t appear to be a crime of passion or robbery.

Police were called around 3 a.m. Saturday to the home in a residential neighborhood and found a chaotic scene where perhaps a dozen people had been gathering around a bonfire. Officers found a handgun on the scene. Two people with non-life-threatening injuries were taken to a hospital.
