Dueñas Aguilar, originally from Mesquite, Texas, enlisted in the Army in 2018. She joined the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, located on the Tennessee-Kentucky border, a year later.
Family offers reward for information
In an effort to find her killer, Dueñas Aguilar’s family and The League of United Latin American Citizens have offered a reward of $55,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Clarksville Police and Army criminal investigators are collaborating on the investigation.
Family seeks justice
During a news conference in May in Texas, Dueñas Aguilar’s family pleaded for justice. They described her as a mother to a 4-year-old son and called for the perpetrator to be brought to justice.
A $55,000 reward from the family and LULAC was announced for any information that may help the police solve the case.
"This is a human being. This is a Latina. This is a young lady that signed on the dotted line to serve our country," said Analuisa Carrillo-Tapia of the LULAC National Military and Veterans Committee. "We want to know what happened, who did it and we want the person or people who did it brought to justice."
