The Army says someone in Colorado Springs has information that could help solve the 2009 murder of a soldier in Afghanistan.
The Army's Criminal Investigation Command on Thursday announced a $25,000 reward for information in the death of Staff Sgt. Anton R. Phillips.

The Army's Criminal Investigation Command on Thursday announced a $25,000 reward for information in the death of Staff Sgt. Anton R. Phillips, who was assigned to a Germany-based maintenance company. Phillips was found stabbed to death on Dec. 31, 2009 at a base in Mehtar Lam, Afghanistan, a farming area east of Kabul.

"We have reason to believe that someone in the Colorado Springs area knows something about the untimely death of this soldier and we are not giving up, but determined to bring those responsible to justice" said CID spokesman Chris Grey. "We strongly encourage anyone with information to contact us immediately."

The Army won't say why Colorado Springs is being targeted in its investigation, but Phillips was serving at the base alongside soldiers from Fort Carson's 4th Brigade Combat Team.
