Senator Warren Statement on the Death of Sergeant Elder Fernandes

Boston, MA - Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren releases the following statement on the death of Sergeant Elder Fernandes. Sgt. Fernandes disappeared from Fort Hood more than a week ago and was found dead Tuesday evening about 25 miles from the military base. Sgt. Fernandes was the 10th soldier to vanish from Fort Hood in the past year. 

"I am heartsick for Sergeant Elder Fernandes' family and his hometown of Brockton. I am working with my colleagues in the Massachusetts Congressional Delegation to demand a full, transparent investigation into this tragedy and the conditions at Fort Hood. Elder was a son, a brother, and a U.S. soldier, and his family deserves justice," the Senator said.
