The brother of a Marine killed during last year’s chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops and civilians from Afghanistan committed suicide last week, about a mile from a permanent memorial in Southern California dedicated to the fallen service members lost in the attack, authorities confirmed.
Dakota Halverson, 28, was still struggling with the death of his brother Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui and wanted to be with him again, according to his mother. Nikoui was one of 13 service members killed Aug. 26 during a suicide bombing at Kabul Airport.
