A Fort Carson soldier has been charged with killing a comrade overseas in May, the post announced Tuesday.
An evidence hearing is set for Wednesday to determine if Spc. Jeffery T. Page will be court-martialed in the death of Spc. Adrian M. Perkins, 19, of Pine Valley, Calif.
The two soldiers were deployed to Jordan as trainers with the post’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team. The Army had been tight-lipped on Perkins’ death and the announcement Tuesday is the first public acknowledgment that he was killed.
The Pentagon attributed the May 17 death in Amman as a “a non-combat related injury.”
At the time the post said Perkins died at a Jordanian military base and the circumstances were “under investigation.”
