Jordan Benedict Adams, aged 35, faces charges including one count of second-degree murder, one count of first-degree manslaughter, and one count of aggravated assault in connection with the alleged homicide, as stated in a court document from Minnehaha County.
According to an affidavit supporting Adams’ arrest, officers from the Sioux Falls Police Department were called to an apartment complex located in the 3500 block of South Larch Avenue at approximately 4:30 a.m. on Friday. Upon arrival, they discovered Chitprasong Amphavannasouk, 45, unresponsive in the hallway of the complex. Despite attempts to revive him, Amphavannasouk was declared dead at the scene.
Investigators located Adams in an apartment within the same complex. When he answered the door, officers reportedly noticed that he had blood on him.

A witness at the scene, who alerted the police, recounted witnessing a confrontation between the two men. She stated that she saw Amphavannasouk retreating with his hand raised before Adams stabbed him and fled the area.
