   On Friday, the Marine Corps identified a Marine killed in a Wednesday   
   shooting at a Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, barracks that investigators   
   are treating as a homicide.   
      
   Lance Cpl. Austin B. Schwenk, 19, and assigned to 2nd Battalion, 6th   
   Marines, died Wednesday evening, with the service announcing that another   
   Marine "suspected of involvement in the death" was apprehended soon after.   
   The suspect has not been identified by the service.   
      
   The shooting occurred in an on-base barracks. An investigation is ongoing   
   and is being led by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, or NCIS, a   
   spokesperson for the 2nd Marine Division told Military.com on Friday.   
      
   "We will continue to assist the investigating agency to the fullest extent   
   possible," 1st Lt. Olivia Giarrizzo, the spokesperson, said in an emailed   
   statement. "Our deepest condolences go out to the Marine's family and   
   friends at this time."   
      
   Immediately following the suspect's apprehension Wednesday evening, Marine   
   Corps officials released a statement describing the death as a homicide in   
   a press release, though no details about the unit, victim or suspect were   
   released then.   
      
   Schwenk was born in Onslow County, North Carolina, the same county that is   
   home to Camp Lejeune. He attended recruit training at Parris Island, South   
   Carolina, and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal.   
      
   He enlisted in the Marines in June 2022, according to the service. He was   
   an electro-optical ordnance repairer, where he would have been tasked with   
   fixing missile electronics, night vision devices and other fire control   
   systems.   
      
   In 2021, a Marine at Camp Lejeune was shot and injured in a barracks,   
   according to The Associated Press. Officials said that the incident was   
   accidental.   
      
   Camp Lejeune experienced another tragedy in July, when three lance   
   corporals were found dead inside a car at a gas station outside of the   
   installation. They died of carbon monoxide poisoning, local authorities   
   said, but investigators did not fully determine the circumstances of the   
   exposure.
