The U.S. Army is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the death of 1st Lt. Marciano Angelo Parisano, a Black Hawk pilot found dead in Honduras earlier this month.
Parisano, 25, was last seen in video footage recorded in the early hours of May 3 outside Club Santos in the Honduran city of Comayagua, according to an Army Criminal Investigation Division notice updated Tuesday.
The CID appeal for information has since been shared by the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa and others on social media in both English and Spanish.
Those with information may remain anonymous, the CID said. The agency is working with Honduran law enforcement on the investigation.
Military and federal employees are eligible for the reward if their tips reflect what the CID calls “exceptional actions,” meaning the information must go beyond what is typically expected in the course of their duties.
Parisano, a native of Cibolo, Texas, graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 2023. He was engaged to his fiancee, Alley Singley, at the time of his death, the San Antonio Express-News reported Tuesday.
He was assigned to 1st Battalion, 228th Aviation Regiment and was supporting Joint Task Force-Bravo in Honduras at Soto Cano Air Base.
He was off base in Comayagua, a city about 5 miles to the south, when his body was found May 3, the task force said in a statement the following day.
Parisano was discovered on the banks of the Chiquito River, which runs through Comayagua, after authorities were alerted that a body had been seen in the water, Honduran newspaper El Heraldo reported at the time.
Joint Task Force-Bravo supports U.S. regional security cooperation efforts in Central America, including counterdrug operations, humanitarian missions and disaster response.
