ALICEVILLE, Ala. — The Army is investigating the death of a 22-year-old soldier from Aliceville who was shot during a “non-combat-related incident” in Afghanistan.

Army Spc. Seteria L. Harris Brown died from a gunshot wound to the chest on July 25 while serving in Sharana, Afghanistan, the military said.

Her mother, Michelle Harris of Aliceville, said it’s not clear what happened.

A spokeswoman at the Fort Hood, Texas, base where Brown had been stationed before deployment to Afghanistan, told the Tuscaloosa News in a Friday story that Brown’s death is still under investigation and it was unknown how long the probe would take.

Brown had been assigned to Fort Hood’s 36th Engineer Brigade since February and was sent to Afghanistan in April.
