A sailor who worked in the Pentagon’s Office of the Chief of Naval Operations was found dead in her Virginia apartment Tuesday in an apparent homicide, local police said.

Yeoman 2nd Class (SW/AW) Juantissa Hill, 24, of Detroit, suffered a “violent death,” but the exact cause was not publicly disclosed, said Ashley Hildebrandt, a spokeswoman for police in Alexandria, Va.

At the Pentagon, Hill did secretarial work such as preparing letters from Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead to the Office of Secretary of Defense, members of Congress, and foreign dignitaries.

Hill enlisted in 2004 and was named Junior Sailor of the Year by her previous command, Carrier Strike Group 2 in Norfolk, according to Navy records. She was assigned to the Pentagon in January.

On her MySpace page, Hill said she thought her move to the Pentagon was “a great stepping stone for my career.”
