But he charged up anyway to try to help the trooper.
Edmonson said Vincent leaves behind a wife, Katherine, and a 9-year-old son, Ethan.
According to police, the suspect allegedly told Vincent, “You’re going to die soon”, before opening fire Sunday. “All I could see was pure evil in his eyes”.
Instead, LeDoux attacked: “I took off running”. I tackled him. We hit the ground.
“I put the handcuffs on him, and my buddy Sam was holding him”.
The other men, seeing LeDoux tackle the gunman, came to help.
As police continued to gather evidence at Brewer’s house, Louisiana State Police offered somber details of when and where they’ll bury one of their own. We really dont have a lot of answers..
The man accused of killing Louisiana State Trooper Steven Vincent acknowledged Tuesday morning during his first court appearance that he would likely face the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder.
He says the truck that 54-year-old Kevin Daigle ran into a ditch, triggering the confrontation with the trooper, belonged to the Moss Bluff victim.
Police launched LeDoux at a information convention earlier Monday however he didn’t converse to reporters on the time.
Investigators removed a body found inside a home on 1491 Hollyvale Drive in Moss Bluff on Monday.
“He is a citizen that has a legal historical past in our group”, Mancuso stated. Daigle had a record and was known to authorities already.
“We had no warrant. So we left the residence”, Mancuso said. When the deputy found the roommate dead, he noticed he was dead amid signs of a struggle.
“I am very saddened to report that Senior Trooper Steven Vincent has passed away this morning from the gunshot wounds he suffered yesterday in conjunction with a traffic investigation”, Edmonson said in a statement.
The trooper found a Dodge pickup matching the report’s description stuck sideways in a ditch along Fruge Road, which is off La.
A man accused of shooting a state trooper with a sawed-off shotgun told him afterward, “You’re lucky – you’re going to die soon”, according to the head of Louisiana State Police.
Vincent “did everything right”, Edmonson said.
“You could hear him breathing, telling him, ‘You’re lucky”.
Consequently, the perpetrator was detained by nearby motorists and other drivers stopped to help the trooper until paramedics arrived.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has ordered the flags at all state buildings flown at half-staff until Friday for the death of state Senior Trooper Steven Vincent.
“Here’s a guy that just loved life”. It was frightening to watch, Edmonson said, referring to the dashboard video.
Currently, the most secure and easiest methods to provide assistance to the Vincent family are through the Louisiana Troopers Charities or Capital One Bank.

However on Monday authorities obtained a telephone name from the person’s workplace saying he had not proven up for work and asking police to examine on him. Tragically, these things happen far too often around the country. One of his brothers is also a Louisiana trooper and another is the police chief in Iowa, a Calcasieu Parish town.
