SUSSEX, Wis. (AP) -- An Ohio native has died in Iraq from injuries he received in what authorities are calling a noncombat-related incident.

Thirty-six-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Brian Naseman died Friday in Taji, Iraq. Naseman is a native of New Bremen, Ohio, but was recently a resident of Racine, Wisconsin.

Department of Defense officials announced Naseman's death Sunday. They say the circumstances surrounding his death are being investigated.

Naseman was assigned to the 108th Forward Support Company, attached to 2nd Battalion, 127th Infantry, 32nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team out of Sussex.

RIVERSIDE, Ohio - An area town is looking to combine a vacant lot and railway with a national plan for a railway system.

Riverside City Manager Bob Murray says that he could envision hundreds, even thousands, of passengers loading and unloading from the lot on Springfield Street across from the U.S. Air Force Museum. He's hoping that the location will be included along the planned 3-C Corridor passenger rail being planned from Cincinnati through Dayton and on up to Columbus and Cleveland.

Murray says the transportation hub would draw businesses to the surrounding four acres, raising the value of the land from its current $13 million to $108 million. He says that location would be perfect for those commuting to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base each day, or to visit the state's top public tourist attraction, the museum.

The only issue is that Riverside isn't the only local municipality pushing for a stop along the rail line. Dayton itself believes there should be a stop downtown, while towns like Fairborn and West Carrollton have also pushed for a stop.

State officials say it's doubtful that the Dayton area can have more than two stops without slowing down the train service. That decision will ultimately be made by state legislators, some of whom don't even support the railway being built in the first place.

Until then, the spot on Springfield Street remains vacant, and Murray can only continue his visions of the hustle and bustle that he - and many others in towns around the area - hopes become a reality.

DAYTON, Oh -- Earlier this month, 19 year old Kasey Fairman was killed by a gunshot wound to the head near Northcrest and Norris Drive.

Saturday, there was a vigil at that intersection. Friends and family remembered Kasey, who was shot and killed after stepping outside to see a fight in progress.

Kasey is the 15th Dayton murder victim this year, in a string of high-profile and gang related murders.

Even vigils can be dangerous. There have been two prayer vigil murders between late last year and now. There was even a shooting at another murder victim's funeral.
