ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, S.D. — Additional military charges have been recommended for an Ellsworth Air Force Base airman facing court-martial in an off-base shooting.
A Friday statement from the base says Vinicus Santana is also suspected of aggravated assault with a loaded firearm, drunk and disorderly conduct, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, possession of a controlled substance, communicating a threat, aggravated sexual assault and forcible sodomy.
Santana is already facing a military charge of attempted murder in a Sept. 5 shooting at a Rapid City apartment complex. He allegedly wounded another Ellsworth airman.
The base says the new charges came to light during the shooting investigation, but are not directly related.
A court-martial hearing is set for April 20.
