COLUMBIA, Missouri (KMIZ)

Military investigators are calling for charges against a US Army specialist for allegedly killing one of his comrades.

Spkt. Wooster Rancy, 21, of the 5th Engineer Battalion, is suspected of murder in the death of Sgt. Fort Leonard Wood officials Sarah Roque wrote in a Facebook post Thursday. The Pulaski County base, which specializes in training engineers and military police officers, reported last week that a suspect had been arrested in connection with the investigation.

The post did not go into detail about the allegations against Rancy.

Military officials said Roque’s body was found in a dumpster next to base housing after she failed to report for duty.

It was not immediately clear who was reviewing possible charges – the post said the Army Office of Special Trial Counsel was forwarding the charges. Rancy is also accused of obstruction of justice.

According to a social media post from the base, Roque was from Indiana and was a bridge crew member and mine dog handler.

Rancy is a native of North Miami, Florida, and is a combat engineer with the 509th Clearance Company. According to the base, he joined the army in 2022.
