Sailor released from pre-trial confinement

Mon Jun 22 16:07:15 CEST 2026 Timsen

The U.S. Navy continues to investigate the fatal shooting of Boatswain's Mate SeamanJesse Braswell aboard the USS 'John F. Kennedy (CVN-79)'. The sailor, who was initially placed in pre-trial confinement following the incident, has since been released. Naval officials have not publicly identified the sailor, and investigators have not announced any criminal charges. The authorities confirmed that Braswell died from a gunshot wound on June 6. The manner of death was ruled homicide, meaning the fatal injury was caused by another person.

Sailors involved in fatal shooting were part of the ship’s armed security forces

The two sailors involved in a fatal shooting aboard the 'John F. Kennedy (CVN-79)' on June 6 were part of the ship’s armed security forces. The Boatswain’s Mate Seaman Jesse Braswell, of Colorado, was killed in the shooting, which took place around 5:15 a.m., while another unnamed sailor was taken into pre-trial confinement. Both were part of the in-port security force for the carrier while it was being completed at HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding. While the sailors are given extra training to provide security for the ship while in port, it was a collateral duty assignment and not the sailors’ primary responsibility like the Master-at-Arms rating. Sailors assigned to the naval security forces are authorised to carry firearms while on watch. The investigation into Braswell’s death is ongoing and being led by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. No charges have been filed. The Virginia’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the cause of Braswell’s death as a gunshot wound to the head, while the manner was homicide. Homicide is not equivalent with murder, as murder is a criminal offense while homicide means that a person was killed by another. Manslaughter, as an example, would also fall under homicide. Braswell reported to the 'John F. Kennedy' in March 2025 as part of the pre-commissioning unit. It was his first assignment after bootcamp and A school. He enlisted on Oct. 31, 2024.
