New Rockford (CSi) A man was shot to death at a wedding reception early Sunday, in New Rockford, ND.
Friends of the victim identified him as 41 year-old Donnie Perleberg of Pingree, ND.
Eddy County Sheriff Paul Lies says it happened at around 1-a.m. Sunday morning at the Eagles Club.
Sheriff Paul Lies says 51-year-old David Troske of New Rockford is in custody after he allegedly shot Perleberg and a woman. Formal charges are pending against Troske.
Lies says Troske did not resist arrest, and that a small-caliber handgun was recovered at the scene.
Pam Perleberg of Fargo told WDAY-TV that she and her family were at the event at the Eagles Club.
Perleberg says Donnie was at a table with a woman when a man at the reception shot him from behind. Perleberg says the man also shot the woman beside Donnie, saying the shooter then dropped his gun and surrendered.
The woman suffered two gunshot wounds during the shooting and was transported to a Bismarck hospital for treatment. Her condition has not been released.
Perleberg says her brother, Donnie was a victim of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Troske will go in front of a judge for the first time today.
