A candlelight vigil was held on Friday to honor the Lafayette Police Officer, Corporal Segus Jolivette, who died in a stand-off Thursday afternoon.

The vigil was held in Jeanerette, which is where the stand-off happened. Lafayette Police, along with several other agencies, had come to help Jeanerette law enforcement serve multiple warrants when the incident turned violent and deadly.

According to LPD, three other police officers were injured by bullet fragments and are expected to have a full recovery.

However, Jolivette leaves behind five children, a wife and a host of loved ones that are mourning his death.
