Gallup, N.M. (AP) – The family of an Army tank crewman from New Mexico who died at Fort Hood, Texas, says he messaged his fiance that he was concerned about three men who didn’t like him and that something was wrong shortly before his death. The Army said Pvt. Corlton L. Chee collapsed during fitness training on Aug. 28. He died two days later. Carma Johnson, Chee’s cousin and his family’s spokesperson, told the Gallup Independent Monday that Chee was being targeted and did not want to go to the training that morning because he felt that something was going to happen. They are alleging foul play, which Fort Hood officials deny. Meantime, Congress is considering whether to expand measures aimed at preventing sexual assault and harassment involving U.S. Military personnel. A proposal introduced Wednesday comes amid calls for justice and a Congressional investigation into numerous deaths at Fort Hood. The bill is named after soldier Vanessa Guillen who was allegedly killed by a fellow soldier after her family says she reported incidents of sexual harassment.
