On Wednesday night, a Marine was apprehended in connection with the death of another Marine at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. The base, which is home to over 137,000 Marines, sailors, retirees, their families and civilian employees, is known as the “Home of Expeditionary Forces in Readiness” and is used for U.S. Marine training and exercises involving other military forces from around the world.

The incident occurred in a barracks room on the base at around 10:15 p.m. and the death was described as a homicide. The identity of the deceased Marine and the suspect have not been released, nor have any details about how the Marine died.

The base released a statement saying that further details will be provided as they become available. The investigation is ongoing.

Camp Lejeune is a major training facility for the U.S. Marine Corps, offering training in amphibious assaults and urban warfare. It is also used for exercises involving other military forces from around the world.

This is the second death at Camp Lejeune in the last month. In March, a Marine was killed in a training accident. The Marine Corps is continuing to investigate the incident and will provide further information when it becomes available.
