Police said Monday evening that Lamb was a suspect in the killing of Ethan Schmidt, an assistant professor of history at Delta State University, where both men taught. Schmidt was shot to death in his office on the school's campus in Cleveland, Mississippi, Monday morning. Police in Gautier, Mississippi, about 300 miles away from the university, also described Lamb as a suspect in a homicide that occurred there on Monday morning.

Investigators haven't detailed Lamb's relationship with Schmidt or explained why they believe he pulled the trigger. "Right now we have no motive, and we're not going to speculate on a motive until we have facts in hand," Cleveland Police Chief Charles Bingham told reporters. Gautier Police also said they hadn't pinpointed a motive in the case.

Noah York, a student at Delta State, told CNN affiliate WMC that he met Lamb at a party about a year ago and was impressed by his music skills. Lamb played guitar and harmonica and was a "talented musician," York said. "He was a cool dude. I mean, you never would have thought anything like this would happen," he said. "It's just that dude, you want to be like him, you know, you want to play guitar, kind of a guy like that, just into rock roll." - (CNN)
