A 28-year old man has been charged with murder nearly three months after the body of US Army Pfc. Brandon Rosecrans of Fort Hood was found on the side of the road in Harker Heights, Texas.
An arrest warrant for Brandon Michael Olivares in connection with the shooting death of the 27-year-old soldier was issued Wednesday, Harker Heights police said.
Olivares was already in custody at the Bell County Jail on unrelated charges.
Jail records indicate Olivares was arrested earlier in June and charged with third-degree felony possession of a firearm and a parole violation.

Olivares’ bail is set at $1 million.
Police found Rosecrans’ body on Fuller Lane on May 18. His abandoned Jeep Renegade was discovered on fire about four miles away.
Olivares and Rosecrans were driving in Rosecran’s SUV when Olivares shot him and left his body on a secluded road near Stillhouse Hollow Lake in Harker Heights, about 11 miles from Fort Hood, according to a police affidavit, ABC 13 reported.
No details about a possible motive have been released.
“The arrest just gave us even more questions,” Thomas Berg, Rosecrans’ father, said, according to the Statesman.
“We do know there are other warrants that will follow.”
Rosecrans’ death is one in a string of at least seven suspicious deaths and disappearances of soldiers stationed at Fort Hood in the last five months.
