New Orleans police are searching for a woman identified as a person of interest in Saturday’s (May 25) fatal shooting in the St. Roch neighborhood.
Jenae Webster, 27, is not considered a suspect in the homicide investigation, police said. However, investigators believe Webster has valuable information on the shooting, which left 27-year-old Kendrick Mayes dead in the 2200 block of North Galvez Street.
Police on Sunday identified James Earl Webster, 31, as a suspect in the murder. The NOPD did not say whether Jenae Webster and James Earl Webster are related. As of Tuesday night, James Earl Webster remained at large.
Mayes was among 17 people shot -- including five fatally -- during a violent Memorial Day weekend in the New Orleans metro area.
Relatives at the scene described Mayes as a devoted father to his young daughter, a man quick to make others smile.
