The two men whose bodies were discovered Sunday inside a Marrero home that had been intentionally torched were stabbed to death, autopsies conducted by the Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office revealed.
The victims were identified Monday as Larry Brown, 69, and Shelton Martin Sr., 60.
“My daddy was a good person. He didn’t deserve to die like this,” said Kianadras Martin, 43.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office has not released any information about suspects in the case.
Shelton Martin lived in Brown’s Gladstone Drive home where the killings occurred, according to family members. The men were good friends who had been roommates for about four years.
The Sheriff’s Office received a call Sunday morning asking for a deputy to conduct a welfare check at the residence, said Capt. Jason Rivarde, a Sheriff's Office spokesman. The deputy who went to the single-story home found Martin and Brown inside and unresponsive. They were both pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators also noticed that the house was partially burned. The Sheriff’s Office believes the fire was set intentionally, and the department’s arson investigator is also on the case, according to Rivarde.
The fire damage was mostly limited to the living room and kitchen, Kianadras Martin said. She went to the residence with her mother, Bettie Martin, Shelton Martin’s former wife, to collect some of her father’s belongings, including his vast collection of New Orleans Saints hats.
“He loved the Saints,” Bettie Martin, 63, said.
She and Shelton Martin were married for more than 20 years before their divorce and had two children. Their son, Shelton Martin Jr., 33, is beside himself, having missed a call from his father on the evening before the killings.
“He’s taking it hard,” said Bettie Martin. “He said, ‘I wasn’t there for him.’ It’s eating him up.”
Bettie Martin described her husband as the consummate host who loved to entertain guests. He kept their glasses and the bellies full. A self-proclaimed barbecue master, he would not let anyone else touch his grill, relatives said.
Shelton Martin retired in 2014 after 36 years with the Avondale Shipyard. He proudly worked so that he could provide for and spoil his family, Kianadras Martin said.
“I’m 43, and I’m still spoiled,” she said of her father’s generosity. “I think my daddy could do anything. My daddy was Superman to me.”
