Arrest In Murder Of Navy Sailor Provost

Navy Petty Officer Jonathan Campos, a 32-year-old gas system technician, has been charged with murder, arson, unlawful entry, unlawful possession of a firearm and a host of other charges in connection with last month's fatal shooting of a seaman at Camp Pendelton. Campos is being held at the brig at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station and is cooperating with investigators, who reiterated that there is no indication the killing of 29-year-old August Provost III on June 30 was a hate crime. Provost was gay. Officials repeatedly have rejected assertions that Provost was killed because he was gay, as some members of his family have suggested.
