Enrique Roman-Martinez, according to online court records and charge sheets obtained by Army Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rolling Stone first reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/culture\/culture-news\/ftbragg-army-beheading-charges-filed-1283450\/\" target=\"_blank\">one soldier\u2019s<\/a> charges, but Army Times has first obtained charge sheets identifying the other two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese charges are unrelated to the cause of&#8230;Roman-Martinez\u2019s death, which remains unsolved,\u201d said Lt. Col. Brett Lea, a spokesperson for the 82nd Airborne Division. \u201cArmy CID has offered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2021\/08\/02\/in-rare-move-army-cid-raises-reward-to-50k-to-solve-paratroopers-mysterious-death\/\" target=\"_blank\">a $50,000 reward<\/a> for information leading to a resolution in this investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roman-Martinez and seven other soldiers broke Fort Bragg\u2019s COVID-19 restrictions to stay overnight on South Core Banks, a barrier island along Cape Lookout National Seashore. He disappeared overnight in the pouring rain on May 22, 2020, and the other campers in his group called 911 the following evening to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2020\/07\/20\/inconsistencies-in-account-of-paratroopers-disappearance-and-homicide-trouble-his-family\/\" target=\"_blank\">report him missing<\/a> after purportedly searching for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His severed head washed up on a nearby island on May 29, a week after he disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the soldiers\u2019 accounts came into question when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2020\/07\/20\/inconsistencies-in-account-of-paratroopers-disappearance-and-homicide-trouble-his-family\/\" target=\"_blank\">Army Times reported <\/a>they had encountered a park ranger in the hours before calling authorities. They failed to inform the ranger they were looking for Roman-Martinez, whose family described the omission as \u201cone of the burning questions\u201d they had about the events. The family has also criticized the Army Criminal Investigation Division\u2019s handling of the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The murder investigation moved to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2021\/11\/09\/fort-bragg-paratroopers-death-moves-to-cold-case-status\/\" target=\"_blank\">cold case status<\/a> in November 2021 after failing to recover any evidence \u2014 physical, forensic or testimonial \u2014 linking anyone to the paratrooper\u2019s death, according to the Fayetteville Observer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1199\" height=\"628\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cape-Lookout.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cape-Lookout.jpg.jpg 1199w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cape-Lookout.jpg.jpg?resize=300,157 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cape-Lookout.jpg.jpg?resize=768,402 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cape-Lookout.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,536 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spc. Enrique Roman-Martinez, an 82nd Airborne Division paratrooper out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, was reported missing May 23 while on a Memorial Day weekend camping trip with fellow soldiers at Cape Lookout National Seashore. (National Park Service)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charge sheets filed for the upcoming courts-martial allege that at least two of the soldiers used LSD, a hallucinogenic drug, during the trip. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/culture\/culture-features\/fort-bragg-murders-1153405\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rolling Stone first reported<\/a> the alleged LSD link, though the charge sheets provided by the 82nd Airborne Division represent its first official confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe charges in this case are merely accusations and the accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty,\u201d added the division spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The charges and new timeline details<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The documents and the court-martial docket indicate three paratroopers will face a general court-martial. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/culture\/culture-news\/ftbragg-army-beheading-charges-filed-1283450\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rolling Stone first reported<\/a> the pending charges against one of the soldiers, Spc. Alex Becerra, whose charge sheet was not released. Two of the charged soldiers, Pfc. Samad Landrum and Pvt. Annamarie Cochell, are members of Roman-Martinez\u2019s unit: the 37th Brigade Engineer Battalion\u2019s headquarters company. Becerra\u2019s unit was not immediately clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to his online docket entry, Becerra will be arraigned Jan. 20 on charges of conspiracy, violating a lawful order, three specifications of false official statements, three specifications of disobeying a commissioned officer and drug use. He was the soldier who made the 911 call reporting Roman-Martinez missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landrum and Cochell\u2019s charge sheets provide detail into their alleged actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two soldiers stand accused of using LSD on the night that Roman-Martinez died, as well as violating Fort Bragg\u2019s COVID-19 travel radius \u201cwithout an approved leave or pass\u201d when they left for the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecutors also charged the two paratroopers with conspiring with five unnamed people to make a false official statement on May 23, the day they searched for Roman-Martinez. The alleged co-conspirators\u2019 names are redacted, including the unknown individual who reportedly lied to an official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the charge sheet, an unnamed co-conspirator told an official that at 3:00 a.m. on an unknown date, they and two other people \u201cleft for Davis N.C. to board a ferry.\u201d Investigators say that\u2019s a lie, accusing the soldiers of colluding to conceal the presence of an unknown fourth person on the trip to the ferry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landrum also reportedly made two false statements to investigators on May 24, according to his charge sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He allegedly lied to an investigator about drug use on the trip and intentionally concealed the presence of a seventh person at their campsite on the morning of May 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c[Person 1] was already looking for him. [Person 2] was still sleeping. [Person 3] was next to [person 4] watching him fish. [Person 5] was casting his fishing rod,\u201d Landrum said \u201cwith intent to decieve&#8230;[by omitting] the presence of [Person 6],\u201d the charge sheet read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FB_IMG_1589219126214.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FB_IMG_1589219126214.jpg.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FB_IMG_1589219126214.jpg.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FB_IMG_1589219126214.jpg.jpg?resize=768,576 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FB_IMG_1589219126214.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,768 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spc. Enrique Roman-Martinez pictured with his mother, niece and nephew. (Courtesy photo\/Martinez family)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Becerra\u2019s arraignment has not occurred, it\u2019s not certain whether he allegedly participated in the same conspiracy or violated the same order as Landrum and Cochell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nor is it clear if his disobeying charges are related to allegedly breaking a no-contact order, as Cochell is also charged with doing. He declined to make a statement to Rolling Stone when reached via phone, and Army Times could not locate contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The woman allegedly violated two no-contact orders, one repeatedly between November 2020 and February 2021, and the second for a few days in May 2021. No-contact orders barring investigative subjects from communicating with each other are common in Army criminal investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An email address listed for Cochell returned an email as undeliverable, and a member of the Landrum family did not immediately respond to a Facebook message seeking Samad\u2019s contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Army Times editor Kyle Rempfer and Military Times reporter James Webb contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army Times obtained charging documents for two of the paratroopers that shed new light on their search for Spc.
