Police are searching for a man suspected of fatally shooting the father of his girlfriend’s children as he waited for the children to return from school Friday afternoon (May 3) in Kenner.
Lyndell Alford, 34, of Kenner is wanted on a charge of second-degree murder in the killing, reported about 4:30 p.m. on Phoenix Street, according to the Kenner Police Department.
Officers responding to reports of gunfire found the victim, identified as 30-year-old Remus Lambert of New Orleans, seated in his vehicle in the 2600 block. He had been shot more than once and was pronounced dead at the scene, Lt. Michael Cunningham said in a news release.
Alford and Lambert have had an ongoing dispute involving Alford’s girlfriend, with whom Lambert has children, Cunningham said.

Lambert was parked near the home of Alford and his girlfriend when the shooting occurred. Investigators believe he was waiting for his children to return home from school, officials said.
According to Kenner police, Alford and the girlfriend drove past Lambert and parked in front of their home. Alford got out of the vehicle and walked into the home — but then, minutes later, came back outside and confronted Lambert.
