Louisiana State Police. Senior Trooper Steven Vincent died Monday after authorities say he was shot in the head and then taunted when he stopped to provide aid to a man whose truck was stuck in a ditch.
Col. Mike Edmonson, head of the State Police, said Kevin Daigle shot Senior Trooper Steven Vincent, then said, "You're lucky, you are going to die soon."
Edmonson said Vincent, 43, drove up on Kevin Daigle near Bell City on Sunday afternoon and then determined that his pickup's plates matched the description of a previously reported "reckless vehicle." Edmonson said a recording from Vincent's cruiser shows Vincent was conversing with Daigle when he opened his door, pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and shot Vincent in the head.

Vincent leaves behind a wife, Katherine, and a 9-year-old son, Ethan. Edmonson said one of Vincent's brothers is also a state trooper, while another is police chief in the nearby town of Iowa (pronounced EYE-oh-way).

Two good Samaritans saw the shooting and pulled over to help, Sgt. James Anderson told the Daily News. The duo tended to the wounded 43-year-old trooper, using his police radio to call for help, and wrestled the shotgun out of the suspect’s hands. They cuffed him with Vincent’s handcuffs and held him at the scene until police arrived.
