Provost, 29, was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds about 3:30 a.m. June 30 at his guard post on Camp Pendleton.
Navy officials have said there isn't any evidence that suggests his slaying was gang-related or a hate crime.
Relatives have said Provost told them he had been harassed, and they had urged him to report it. Rep. Bob Filner, D-San Diego, has said the Navy told his office that Provost had been killed by a man who was attacking the base.
Charges haven't been filed against the “person of interest” – a sailor being held in connection with Provost's death – and no other suspects have been taken in, Navy Region Southwest officials said yesterday afternoon.
