Fort Stewart Sergeant Gets 6 Life Terms for Shooting 5 Soldiers and Fiancé

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 23

Summary

  • Six consecutive life sentences with parole were imposed on Sgt. Quornelius S. Radford, 29, after a military judge convicted him of attempting to murder five soldiers and his fiancé in the Aug. 6, 2025 Fort Stewart attack.
  • Prosecutors said the shooting began after an argument with his fiancé; Radford shot him in a parking lot, then entered unit offices and shot four soldiers while attempting to shoot a fifth.
  • Fellow soldiers tackled and restrained Radford until law enforcement arrived, a response commanders said prevented further casualties; all six victims survived but testified to lasting trauma.
  • The sentence also strips Radford of all pay and allowances, reduces him to E-1 and dishonorably discharges him; he will serve at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
