Two former soldiers have been indicted on charges including murder in the death of another soldier who was found stabbed to death in his room on a Georgia military base, according to court documents unsealed Monday. Byron Booker, 28, of Ludowici, and Jordan Brown, 21, of St. Marys, are charged in the June 2020 death of 24-year-old Austin J. Hawk at the U.S. Army’s Fort Stewart. Amy Lee Copeland, a lawyer for Brown, said in an email Monday that she doesn’t comment on pending cases. A.J. Balbo, a lawyer for Booker, said in an email that his client “is entitled to the presumption of innocence throughout this process.”
Roth, who was an Army veteran, was found dead Jan. 13 at the Schofield Barracks.

Our brigade and the Army community are heartbroken by Selena’s death, said Col. Theodore Travis in a statement. We have extended our condolences to Selena’s family, friends and loved ones.
No further details have been released about the circumstances surrounding her death, but court records suggest that the couple’s relationship had been deteriorating.
