AUGUSTA, Ga. (KLFY) - An Army National Guard soldier from Abbeville has been charged with murder after a weekend shooting in a Fort Eisenhower residence in Georgia.
Natravien Landry, 25, is charged with one count of murder, said Jill E. Steinberg, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia. Landry was in court earlier this week for an initial appearance.
Landry is an Army National Guard soldier assigned to the 1148th Transportation Company at Fort Eisenhower. Authorities allege that Landry visited a residence last Saturday of a woman with whom he shares a child. Landry is accused of assaulting and shooting a man who was with the woman in her residence, and then leaving Fort Eisenhower. Landry was arrested about three hours later south of Atlanta on Interstate 85 during a traffic stop by the Meriwether County, Georgia, Sheriff’s Office, and deputies recovered a 9 mm pistol during the stop.
The U.S. Marshals Service took Landry into custody and transported him to the Lincoln County Jail, where he awaits further court proceedings.
