June 30, 2009 – Seaman August Provost was found shot to death and his body burned at his guard post on Camp Pendleton.

Military leaders have since explained that "whatever the investigation concludes, the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy prevented Provost from seeking help." Family and friends believe he was murdered because he was openly gay (or bisexual according to some family and sources); the killer died by suicide a week later after admitting the murder, the Navy have not concluded if this was a hate crime.
