The League of United Latin American Citizens is calling for an outside investigation into the death of a 21 year-old female soldier, as the Army says there are no signs of foul play surrounding the woman’s death.
Pvt. Ana Basaldua Ruiz was found dead last Monday of an apparent suicide. She had previously complained to family members that she had been the target of sexual harassment and unwanted sexual advances on Fort Hood. LULAC spokesperson Analuisa Tapia spoke at a news conference on Friday.
“The is equally concerned over the reports from her family that their daughter was the target of repeated sexual harassment like demands an immediate, full and transparent investigation into these claims. This investigation needs to start now. It must be by an outside authority,” said Tapia
At a news conference earlier in the day at Fort Hood, General Sean C. Bernabe said their investigation had found no signs of foul play.

It may have been suicide but finding out why she did it is also important.

Even if she died by suicide, the sexual harassment and unwelcomed advances could have contributed to it. Especially if she told her leadership or peers and no one listened.
Even when people do listen, the system is fucked. Also I question when the Army says "no signs of foul play" when there are cases like LaVena Johnson out there. Or Denisha Montgomery Smith which I have yet to see ANY major news network pick up her case when she was CLEARLY murdered but the Army wanted to rule it suicide initially. That woman was assaulted ON VIDEO but a couple weeks before and someone else in the video was also found dead not long after her.
