A military police officer who grew up in Wentzville and joined the Army when he was 33 has died in a noncombat shooting in Iraq, his wife said Monday.
Sgt. 1st Class Daniel R. Sexton, 53, died Wednesday at Joint Base Balad, the Army said. He had been assigned since June 2004 to the 164th Military Police Company at Fort Richardson, Alaska.
A Fort Richardson spokesman did not provide details of the fatality but Sexton's wife, Tori, said her husband was the victim of an accidental shooting. She added that the Army had yet to provide her with much information about his death, which remains under investigation.
Before his assignment to Fort Richardson, Sexton had been attached to several Army posts, including Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. He was a veteran of the Persian Gulf War.
