Unsolved murder spurs possible reform

Congresswoman Norma Torres introduced legislation to establish uniform procedures for the handling of cold cases by military investigators. The text of the bill can be found here

Representative Torres named the legislation after Enrique Roman-Martinez, a member of the 82d Airborne Division who was decapitated during Memorial Day Weekend in 2020. The Army Criminal Investigative Division failed to close the homicide investigation. Specialist Roman-Martinez had been camping in the Outer Banks of North Carolina with 7 other Soldiers at the time of his homicide.

Military.com has done a series of articles on the incident, tracking the disciplinary action some of those Soldiers have faced for other misconduct, yet the cause of SPC Roman-Martinez' murder remains unsolved.
