Mounties are investigating after a 21-year-old man was found dead on a road in Sioux Valley Dakota Nation Tuesday morning.

RCMP say officers from the Virden detachment were called to the scene on Cemetery Road at about 9:15 a.m. When the Mounties arrived, they noted the victim appeared to have been hit by a vehicle.

RCMP say the victim, who was from the community, had been walking with friends when he split off from the group to head down the road where he was found. Officers seized a vehicle in the community that RCMP say is “of interest to the investigation.”

Mounties, including criminal collision investigators, are still examining the vehicle and probing the incident. The community is about 50 kilometres west of Brandon.
