A 22-year-old soldier was arraigned last week on a murder charge in connection with the death of a young girl, according to court records from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.

Pfc. Jahcorrie Nealy is accused of physically shaking a girl younger than 16 years old, which caused her death, according to his charge sheet. The incident took place at the base May 17. He was arraigned Thursday in the courtroom of Lt. Col. Jessica Conn, a military judge, according to the online Army court docket.

The names of victims were redacted from the charge sheet.

Nealy faces several charges including murder while engaging in an act inherently dangerous to another, unpremeditated murder, involuntary manslaughter and domestic violence, according to the court record.

Nealy, who is not being held in pretrial confinement, is also accused of throwing a girl younger than 16 into her room between May 6 and 16, though it is not clear from the information provided in the court document whether it is the same child. The incident injured the child’s liver, according to the charge sheet.

The document describes the victim of the domestic violence charge as Nealy’s immediate family member.

Nealy pleaded guilty and will face a judge for sentencing April 11, according to the court docket.

Col. Joey Sullinger, spokesman for I Corps and JBLM, declined to specify to which charges Nealy pleaded guilty.

Nealy enlisted in January 2020 and is assigned to the 24th Composite Supply Company of the 13th Combat Sustainment Battalion, according to his charge sheet.
