Man accused of killing state trooper now suspect in second slaying after roommate found dead

The Calcasieu Parish man accused in the shooting death of State Police Trooper Steven Vincent is suspected in a second slaying after investigators on Monday found the shooter’s presumed roommate dead inside a Moss Bluff home.

Meanwhile, authorities are hailing as a hero the good Samaritan who helped capture Kevin Daigle, the 54-year-old Lake Charles-area man accused in the trooper’s slaying.

Robert LeDoux said he was out for a drive Sunday when he saw flashing police lights about a quarter-mile away and then was stopped by three men calling 911. They urged him to turn around after they had seen a man brandishing a gun by the trooper.

“One of the guys said, ‘Don’t go down there. That guy’s got a gun,’ ” LeDoux said in an interview with The Associated Press.
