A solider from Kimberling City was found dead in Texas last week. The cause of death is still under investigation by civilian and military officials. Pfc. Brandon Rosecrans, 27, of Kimberling City, was found deceased on Monday, May 18, in Harker Heights, Texas.
According to a release from Fort Hood, where Rosecrans was stationed, the soldier was found deceased near Fuller Lane in Harker Heights, Texas.
Preliminary investigations suggest Rosecrans died of a gunshot wound. His death is being investigated as a murder.
Officials at Fort Hood say the U.S. Army and police in Harker Heights are conducting the investigation into his death. Police found a 2016 Jeep Renegade on fire the same day his body was found. The vehicle reportedly belonged to Rosecrans.
