SIOUX FALLS, SD (Dakota News Now) – The name of the 44-year-old victim of a southwest Sioux Falls homicide has been released.

Lt. Aaron Nyberg said officers found Angela Dawn Ledbetter of Sioux Falls deceased when they responded to the 5300 block of Anthony Avenue on Monday.

Officers were called at around 6.25pm ​​to ‘an unknown issue’.

The Lincoln County Coroner ruled the victim’s death a homicide by manual strangulation.

Through evidence such as video surveillance, detectives were able to arrest Angela’s husband, Jimmie Ledbetter Jr. He is charged with first degree murder.

Jimmie Ledbetter Jr. will make a court appearance Friday.

Ledbetter set up a GoFundMe page for funeral expenses for his wife before his arrest. Lt. Nyberg said police will look into that.

“People should always be cautious when donating money to someone online and maybe know as much as they can about the situation before sending money to someone,” Lt. Nyberg said.

Angela’s family set up a separate GoFundMe page for donations.

Cordell Wright will have more details on the case tonight on Dakota News Now.
