Fort Eisenhower, Ga.(WDNews) — An Army National Guard soldier from Abbeville, Alabama has been charged with murder following a weekend shooting at a Fort Eisenhower residence in Georgia.
Natravien Landry, 25, a soldier with the 1148th Transportation Company, is accused of fatally shooting a man at the home of a woman with whom he shares a child. The incident occurred last Saturday, according to U.S. Attorney Jill E. Steinberg.
Authorities allege that Landry assaulted and shot the man during his visit to the woman’s residence. He fled the scene but was apprehended about three hours later on Interstate 85, south of Atlanta. Meriwether County deputies conducted a traffic stop and recovered a 9 mm pistol during Landry’s arrest.
The U.S. Marshals Service transported Landry to the Lincoln County Jail, where he is awaiting further court proceedings. He has been charged with one count of murder.
