Fort Bragg soldier facing murder charge in Myrtle Beach

A Fort Bragg soldier wanted in the death of a Fayetteville man in Myrtle Beach, S.C., earlier this week was taken into custody early Friday, according to the Fayetteville Observer.

Matthew Isaiah Rivera, 29, is charged with murder, according to an arrest report on the Fayetteville Police Department’s website.

A police spokesman said Rivera is being charged in the death of Mark Allen Verhasselt, 42, of the 5200 block of Rockingham Road. Verhasselt was found dead in the parking lot of an apartment complex in Myrtle Beach on Tuesday.

Verhasselt had been named as a person of interest in the disappearance of 31-year-old Charles Anthony Fuentes, who was last seen early March 3 leaving Izzy’s Sports Bar at 150 Andrews Road.
