A person is in custody related to the death of an airman on a military base in Wyoming last month that spawned an investigation by the U.S. Air Force into the safety of a widely-used pistol made by Sig Sauer.

An Air Force spokesperson said Friday that an unidentified person has been arrested on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter, obstruction of justice, and making a false statement. The military declined to release the person’s name and provided no other details.

Airman Brayden Lovan, a 21-year old from Greenville, Kentucky, was killed July 20 in an incident involving a Sig Sauer-made M18 pistol while stationed at Warren Air Force base. Immediately following his death, a major command unit of the Air Force suspended use of the M18, pending an investigation into the weapon.
