Police arrested a 29-year-old man Monday in connection with Sunday's shooting death of a Fort Bliss soldier.

Craig Allen Graham faces a murder charge and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He remained in the El Paso County Jail Monday in lieu of a $650,000 bond.

Two other victims who were wounded during the shooting, which took place shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday, were also soldiers stationed at the post, Fort Bliss officials confirmed Monday.

All three victims were 21 years old. Officials couldn't confirm whether Graham is a current or former member of the military, but according to a Facebook profile belonging to Craig Graham, he was stationed in Afghanistan and suffered serious injuries in a 2010 motorcycle crash.

The shooting apparently took place outside of the Fussion nightclub at 4304 Dyer. Residents in the area reported hearing several gunshots.
