Army taking over prosecution of Fort Lewis murder case

The Pierce County prosecutor's office says the Army is taking over prosecution of a Fort Lewis soldier accused of killing two married soldiers in Parkland.

Deputy Prosecutor Ed Murphy told The News Tribune Wednesday that the Army took custody of Ivette Davila and transferred her out of the jail in Tacoma.

The 22-year-old from Bakersfield, Calif., had been scheduled to appear in court Wednesday afternoon after prosecutors filed state charges.

She's accused of shooting 27-year-old Timothy Miller and his wife, 25-year-old Randi Miller, on Saturday night at their home. Both were medics who had served in Iraq. Investigators have said a possible love triangle may have been the motive for the killings.

Randi Miller's father lives in Laconia, N.H. and Timothy Miller's family lives in Gardnerville, Nev.
