In July 2021, Hillman was assigned to the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, also known as the Spartan Brigade, which is based out of Fort Stewart.
Monday’s shooting took place inside the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team complex on the military base, which is located near the city of Hinesville.

No information on a motive has been shared, and the investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
“On Monday morning, the Spartan family lost one of our own in a tragic and unexpected way,” Col. Ethan J. Diven, commander of the Spartan Brigade, said in a statement. “With the deepest sorrow, our hearts are with the families and units involved in the incident. Providing support to the impacted families and soldiers is our first priority. We are working closely with the Fort Stewart military police and U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division.”
