| Trooper Steven Vincent (L); Kevin Daigle (R) |
Trooper Vincent was a member of the Louisiana State Police. He served with Troop "D", based in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He had almost 13 years of service.
Around 3 p.m., Trooper Vincent came across a pickup truck in a ditch near Bell City. The license plates matched those of a reported reckless driver. He stopped to see what was wrong. The driver seemed to be impaired. As the two men were talking, the driver pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and shot Steven Vincent in the head.
Reportedly at some point in this confrontation he said to Steven: "You're lucky. You're going to die soon."
The trooper's in-car camera caught the shooting on film.
Steven was rushed to a hospital in Lake Charles where tragically he succumbed to his injuries.
