According to a spokesperson with Kingsbay Naval Submarine Base, Marshall Gentry was a sailor on the base.

Camden County Capt. Larry Bruce says that Gentry and his wife had recently filed for divorce and the two went to pick up their eldest child on Wednesday.

He says that around 8 a.m. Thursday, Marshall did not show up for work at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay. He reportedly lived on base in the pop-up camper.

When his supervisor went to check on him, they found his camper had been moved, so they went to his wife’s address in St. Marys. They found his military uniforms on the front porch of the house.

Investigators say Marshall Gentry was “known to be suicidal and heavily armed.”
