JACKSONVILLE, N.C. – The death of a lance corporal at Camp Lejeune’s rifle range is under investigation.

Lance Cpl. Timothy A. Lovett, 20, of Los Angeles County, Calif., died Oct. 4 at the base’s Stone Bay rifle range, a II Marine Expeditionary Force spokesman said Tuesday.

“He wasn’t on the firing line,” Lt. Col. Curtis Hill said.

Further details are not being released at this time pending the investigation, which is being conducted by Naval Criminal Investigative Service, he said.

Lovett was a Marine Air-Ground Task Force planning specialist with 2nd Marine Expeditionary Headquarters Group. He joined the Corps Oct. 11, 2005 and was promoted to lance corporal Dec. 1, 2006.
