Authorities with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) are continuing to look for clues, in connection with Thursday’s suspected murder-suicide at Marine Corps Base Quantico, involving three Marines.
It has been anything but a peaceful weekend in the small community of Guntown, Mississippi, where friends and family of 23-year old Cpl. Jacob Wooley are trying to deal with his sudden, violent death.
Investigators say Wooley and Lance Cpl. Sara Castro Mata, 19, of Oakley, California, were gunned down in the Taylor Hall Barracks around 11 p.m. Thursday night.
The accused shooter is identified as Sgt. Eusebio Lopez, 25, of Pacifica, California.
Police believe Lopez, a tactics instructor, entered the barracks, shot and killed Wooley, then opened fire on Castromata, before killing himself.
Wooley and Castro Mata were Facebook friends. There are reports the shootings stemmed from a relationship dispute.
