Kyle Rempfer
A 20-year-old soldier assigned to Fort Hood, Texas, was arrested Tuesday afternoon on a warrant for murder in the case of a woman who was killed at a local Days Inn more than a year ago.
Spc. Cory L. Grafton was arrested over the June 3, 2019, death of 32-year-old Chelsea L. Cheatham. Her death was ruled a homicide by an autopsy at the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences in Dallas.
A witness said Grafton was at the scene of the murder, according to Killeen police, who wrote in a statement that they were able to arrest Grafton after the Texas Rangers matched his DNA to that which was found at the crime scene.
