Do we know why he was in Harker Heights on a Monday? He was found at 10.15am, so unless he was on leave he should have been at work on post. I couldn't find any info about him wearing his uniform or civilian clothing when found.

FAMILIES OF 3 FORT HOOD SOLDIERS SEEK ANSWERS IN THEIR DEATHS
...
Rosecrans joined the U.S. Army in 2018 and was eventually sent to Fort Hood. Berg has been working with the Harker Heights Police Department and said they have been very helpful.
Despite the criticism Fort Hood has faced over the last several weeks over their handling of misconduct allegations and the disappearances of their soldiers, Rosecrans' father said they have been an asset as well.
...
Berg said he believes the people outside of the base are the ones who pose the real threat to the men and women enlisted.
"These people prey on their life," Berg said. "They sit outside these bases and they know when these kids are paid."

Wow! I am so glad they made an arrest. How sad though... Sounds like they were riding in Brandon's Jeep and the passenger (guy that was arrested) shot him. Thank you so much for finding and sharing this!

Congress Investigates Fort Hood Following Soldier Deaths
Congress will launch an investigation into sexual assault, disappearances, deaths and the leadership’s response at Fort Hood after 28 soldiers stationed at the U.S. Army base in Texas died this year, two subcommittee leaders announced Tuesday.
According to data from Fort Hood officials, the 28 deaths include five homicides, as well as accidents, suicides, deaths related to illness, cases still under investigation and one combat-related death.
The subcommittees will jointly investigate if recent deaths “may be symptomatic of underlying leadership, discipline, and morale deficiencies throughout the chain-of-command.”
