The two men arrested for the fatal shooting of Lawrence Herr in Kenner may have been motivated because he was white, a detective working the homicide said during a court hearing Tuesday.

On April 11, Kenner Police arrested 23-year-old Tahj Matthews and 25-year-old Maurice Holmes for the April 10 murder of Lawrence Herr.

Herr, 66, was shot and killed while installing a mailbox outside a home on Georgetown Drive in Kenner.

At the time of the killing, Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley said that one of the suspects confessed to the shooting but didn't have a particular motive.

"One of the suspects did say they were on a random shooting binge and wanted to commit a murder, we think there may be ulterior motives and that's what the detectives are investigating," Chief Conley said.
