Following a police investigation, Xavier was arrested in Valdosta, Georgia, where he resides, more than 800 miles away from the scene of the crime.

The late Bass worked as an instructor for Cowley ISD’s JROTC program.

Crowley ISD said Bass worked with cadets from every Crowley ISD middle school and high school campus, describing him as a “beloved” and “treasured” member of their family.

“This is an incredibly sad time for all of us, especially those who knew MSGT Bass as an instructor and friend,” a statement from the school district said. “He was an outstanding educator and colleague, and he touched the lives of countless students and staff.”
