Landry arrived at his ex-girlfriend's apartment while on a break from drill duty. He entered the residence and confronted Stewart, who was dating the woman and was asleep with her. Landry struck Stewart multiple times with a gun before shooting him. Stewart later died from his injuries.
Landry fled the scene but was apprehended after a traffic stop. He admitted to the shooting during questioning. Stewart's sister noted that her brother was "viciously murdered" and left behind a 5-year-old son who was present during the incident.
