The mystery around the deaths of Master Sgt. William J. Lavigne II, 37, and Army veteran Timothy Dumas deepens with the revelation that Lavigne was also involved in the death of Sgt. First Class Mark Leshikar, two years prior.<\/p>\n
Best of friends, Lavigne reportedly shot Leshikar to death after he was allegedly attacked by Leshikar with a screwdriver. A screwdriver was discovered near the scene.<\/p>\n
The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, which had jurisdiction, ruled it to be a “justifiable homicide” despite inconsistencies.<\/p>\n

By Jack Murphy<\/strong><\/p>\n On Dec. 2, 2020, Master Sgt. William Lavigne and Timothy Dumas were found dead at a training site on Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The case is being investigated as a homicide, a spokesperson for Army Criminal Investigations Division told Connecting Vets.<\/p>\n Lavigne was a member of the Army’s elite counter-terrorism unit, Delta Force, and deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. Dumas was an Army veteran who previously served as the property book officer at 7th Special Forces Group before serving in the same role at Fort Bragg for nine years, according to his LinkedIn profile.<\/p>\n While justice for the apparent killings of Lavigne and Dumas has yet to be delivered, another family is also seeking justice, and speaking out about another killing in 2018 in which Lavigne was involved.<\/p>\n Lavigne and Sgt. First Class Mark Leshikar were best friends. Leshikar was a member of 19th Special Forces Group and had previously deployed to Afghanistan and Tajikistan. He was also suffering from a traumatic brain injury due to an improvised explosive device detonating near him, which was why he was assigned to a desk job at Fort Bragg. He and Lavigne would talk and argue with one another like they were brothers, Leshikar’s sister Nicole Rick recalled in an interview with Connecting Vets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Much more to view here: Radio.Com<\/a> and here: Daily Mail<\/a>
