Gulfport man accused of killing ‘best friend’ after fight about vaping inside: court docs
Summary
A month after 34-year-old Shaun Hennigh was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head, his "best friend" and roommate, Elisha Landry, 28, was apprehended by U.S. Marshals. The incident began on April 17 when Landry called 911 at 5 a.m., claiming his friend had been shot in the garage. However, paramedics found Hennigh's body cold and in rigor mortis, indicating he had been dead for some time. Initially, Landry claimed Hennigh had shot himself, but later admitted they were "play-fighting" after an argument. Evidence at the scene, including bloody footprints and drag marks, contradicted this story. The investigation revealed the argument was about vaping inside the home. Witnesses placed the time of the shooting around 12:30 a.m., and the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide, confirming the fatal shot was fired from at least six inches away and moving upward, ruling out self-infliction. Landry has been charged with second-degree murder.
