(KDLT/NBC News) — Family members of a man struck and killed by South Dakota’s Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg Saturday night are asking for more information.

Ravnsborg called 911 immediately after the crash on Highway 14 outside of Highmore, saying he believed he had hit a deer.

The body of the victim, 55-year-old Joseph Boever of Highmore, was not found until the next morning.

Boever’s cousin, Victor Nemec, says he believes the state is being “tight-lipped” in the investigation. He said the state has not reached out to him yet, despite him having been the one to identify Boever’s body after it was found in the ditch Sunday morning.
