A former Army National Guard soldier has admitted to fatally shooting an active-duty Army sergeant after discovering him in bed with Landry’s ex-girlfriend, who is also the mother of his child.
Natravien R. Landry, 27, pleaded guilty on June 11 to second-degree murder and to using a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence in the death of U.S. Army Sgt. Andre S. Stewart Jr. The killing took place at what was then Fort Eisenhower — now Fort Gordon — in Augusta, Georgia. Federal prosecutors said Landry faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and could receive up to life in prison.
Investigators said the shooting occurred on the morning of Dec. 14, 2024, at an apartment complex located on the military installation.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Landry had been attending drill duty earlier that day and left during a break to go to the woman’s residence.
Authorities said a witness reported that Landry saw a black pickup truck parked outside the apartment and asked who it belonged to.
