A 38-year-old man faces a manslaughter charge after he allegedly shot and killed a man just south of Red Lake Nation while hunting in 2020.

It was around 7:15 p.m. on Nov. 25, 2020, when the man called law enforcement saying he accidentally shot and killed another hunter who he thought was a deer, the criminal complaint says.

The man said he was around 200 yards west of the person he believed was a deer when he fired a single shot from his hunting rifle. The complaint says that when he walked up to see what he thought would be a dead deer, he realized he had killed another hunter.

According to the complaint, the man and the victim — identified as Lukas Dudley — were separately participating in the Red Lake firearms deer season. Both men were members of Red Lake Nation.
