Slain Schofield soldier leaves wife, daughter in Honolulu

Advertiser Staff

A Schofield Barracks soldier who was killed in Iraq last week leaves behind a wife and a 4-month-old daughter in Honolulu, according to friends and relatives.

Staff Sgt. Richwell A. Doria, 25, died Nov. 7 after being struck by small-arms fire during an air assault mission near the city of Kirkuk in northern Iraq.

Kazue Miyano, formerly of Kaua'i, said in an e-mail that an Army chaplain came to visit her daughter, Jasmine, on O'ahu the night of Nov. 7 to tell the daughter of her husband's death.

Doria was assigned to the 3rd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division.

His death was the eighth for the brigade since being deployed to Iraq in August.
