A 38-year-old Bois Forte Band of Chippewa member was killed in a hit-and-run accident in Tower, Minn., on Tuesday night, near Fortune Bay Resort Casino.
Amanda Boshey was struck as she walked along a road near the turn into the resort, about a mile from her home, a spokesperson for the band said in a news release.
The FBI has found a person of interest in the case, the release said. The agency is investigating because the death occurred on tribal land.
Boshey, a mother to five children, worked as a laborer for a construction company and was in recovery from a substance-use addiction, the release says. She would have been sober for three years next month. A fund will be set up at the Embarrass Vermillion Federal Credit Union for her children.
The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office assisted tribal police in the aftermath of the accident.
