Autopsy shows: Fort Campbell soldier was found dead in his home, stabbed nearly 70 times

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A Fort Campbell soldier who was found dead in her home earlier this year died from nearly 70 stab wounds, according to an autopsy report.

No arrests have been made in connection with the death of 23-year-old Private First Class Katia Dueñas Aguilar, whose body was found in her Tennessee home near the Army base in May.

Clarksville police said Wednesday that no arrests had been made.

According to an autopsy report from the Montgomery County Medical Examiner’s Office, Dueñas Aguilar suffered 68 stab wounds to his neck and torso, the Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle reported.

The coroner determined the cause of death to be homicide as a result of sharp force trauma to the neck, the newspaper reported.

Dueñas Aguilar, of Mesquite, Texas, joined the Army in 2018 and arrived at Fort Campbell on the Tennessee-Kentucky border a year later as a member of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne Division.

Her family and the League of United Latin American Citizens are offering a $55,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Clarksville police and Army detectives are cooperating in the investigation.

During a press conference in Texas in May, Dueñas Aguilar’s family called for justice for her family, saying she is the mother of a four-year-old son.
