Natravien Landry, 25, made an initial court appearance before a
federal magistrate judge in Augusta, according to U.S. District
Court records. He's charged with a killing Saturday morning at a
home on Fort Eisenhower, where Landry served in a Georgia
National Guard transportation unit.
Commanders at Fort Eisenhower, home to the U.S. Army Cyber
Command, ordered a two-hour lockdown because of the shooting.
Afterward they gave few details, saying a person had been
arrested in an “isolated” fatal shooting at the Army post
adjoining Augusta.
An Army investigator's affidavit filed in court gave further
details.
Landry was on duty Saturday and was taking a break when he went
to the on-base home of a former girlfriend, and he confronted
and fatally shot another man who had spent the night there,
according to the affidavit.
Fort Eisenhower officials have not released the victim's name.
He was identified only by initials in the investigator's
affidavit.
David Stewart, listed in court records as Landry's attorney, did
not immediately return phone and email messages Monday.
Landry fled in a car and was arrested later Saturday by
sheriff's deputies in Meriwether County, about 180 miles (290
kilometers) from the base. The affidavit said Landry threw a 9mm
handgun from the car's window after being pulled over and
admitted to the shooting when questioned by an Army
investigator.
