EDMOND, Okla. (AP) -- An Edmond man is among the latest soldiers to be killed in Iraq.

US Department of Defense officials say Army Private First Class David Jeffrey Martin was one of four 101st Airborne Division members who died when a roadside bomb exploded near their Humvee.

Martin was the son of Rick and Janet Martin of Edmond, and was a 2002 graduate of Edmond North High School.

Martin had been stationed in Iraq about a month.

He completed his Army training at Fort Benning, Georgia, and initially was sent to Kuwait before being transferred to Iraq.

He is the first Edmond resident to die in Iraq this year.
