Police say they were able to tie Kendrick to the crime through evidence collected at the scene and from DNA found on his clothing. Kenemore has been charged with murder-domestic violence.
Tracy Kenemore had been a traffic control officer with LMPD for 21 years, according to LMPD spokeswoman Elizabeth Ruoff.
Douglas Sweeney, a former LMPD lieutenant, said Kenemore was a school crossing guard who loved her job.
