The Army's Criminal Investigative Division undertook an investigation after fellow soldiers alleged wrongdoing to military superiors, leading to one count of pre-meditated murder against Corrales and Shore, and suspension for their commanding officer.

The military statement clarifies: "While he is not a suspect in the case, Lt. Col. Michael Browder, 2 Battalion, 35 Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade 25th Infantry Division in Kirkuk, Iraq, was relieved by Maj. Gen. Benjamin R. Mixon, commander, Multi-National Division – North and Task Force Lightning, based on the totality of the circumstances surrounding this incident and due to a lack of confidence in his ability to command effectively."

No further details on the alleged incident are available at this time.
