The Caddo Parish community of Vivian is mourning the line-of-duty murder of a police officer. Marc Brock was among the officers investigating a cyberstalking complaint Friday evening against 58-year-old Nicolas Alexander, when investigators say Alexander opened fire through the front door, killing Brock. Caddo Parish Commissioner Chris Kracman, whose district includes Vivian, says Officer Brock accomplished so much in his short time on Earth.
“He’s 25 years old. He’s a T-ball coach. He’s on the board of directors of the Vivian Athletic Association. He’s an assistant coach for North Caddo and he’s a police officer,” Kracman said.
Last night, there was a candlelight vigil at the North Caddo football field. Commissioner Kracman says people turned out in droves.
“There were hundreds of people in the bleachers. They had everything set up somewhere around the 30-yard line or so, but the bleachers were packed,” Kracman said.
Kracman says the turnout at the vigil is a testament to how loved Brock was by everyone in and around Vivian.
“When folks are living, I don’t think they realize how many lives they touch. And last night just showed how many lives that Officer Brock had touched,” Kracman noted.
Alexander was arrested and is charged with second-degree murder and cyberstalking. He’s being held without bond.
