The Navy filed charges against a then-unnamed sailor accused of starting a blaze on the USS Bonhomme Richard, which began on July 12, 2020.

Interview testimony from some of his fellow sailors told a different story. Among interviews with 177 sailors, Seaman Kenji Velasco, who is only now being identified by name, told investigators he saw a"light-skin male" in coveralls and a facemask carrying a bucket into the Lower V about five minutes before the initial smoke started.

In later interviews, Velasco changed his testimony to say he now was"90 percent sure" the sailor he saw before the fire started was Mays, according to the affidavit, who also stated that a command master chief also"identified Mays as a person who showed disdain toward authority and the U.S. Navy." Continued investigation into May's alleged involvement has brought up more red flags, but so far, his DNA has not been connected to any DNA found at the scene.reached out to the Navy to find out Mays' current status in the Navy while the investigation is ongoing but did not immediately hear back.
