The terrible death of 25-year-old police officer Marc Tyler Brock, who was shot and killed on November 14, 2025, while performing his duties, has left the Vivian town in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, in shock.
Brock was a cherished assistant football coach at North Caddo High School and a committed defender of public safety. His unselfish service embodied the best standards of law enforcement. His sudden passing has brought the locals together in sorrow and a determination to pay tribute to him with gestures of solidarity.
The incident unfolded around 7 p.m. in the 1700 block of North Pine Street, where Brock and fellow officers executed a search warrant for cyberstalking charges.
Suspect Nicolas Alexander, 58, fired multiple rounds through a closed door, striking Brock in the torso before barricading himself inside for a two hour standoff involving over 50 responding agencies. Alexander surrendered peacefully and now faces charges of second degree murder and cyberstalking at Caddo Correctional Center.
Born in 2000 in Vivian, Brock grew up immersed in the tight knit rhythms of small town life along the Louisiana Texas border. He began his athletic journey as a ball boy for the North Caddo Titans, progressing to a standout player on the varsity squad that honed his discipline and teamwork. Graduating from North Caddo High School in 2018, he carried forward a legacy of school pride rooted in family traditions of perseverance and community involvement.
Brock swiftly channeled his passion for protection into a career with the Vivian Police Department, joining shortly after graduation and quickly earning respect for his proactive patrols and crisis response. As a nonfaculty assistant coach for the Titans football team, he mentored young athletes with tactical insights and motivational fervor, contributing to recent program successes.
In his personal life, Brock cherished family gatherings marked by backyard barbecues and heartfelt storytelling sessions that reinforced his roles as son, brother, and aspiring family man. An avid outdoorsman, he relished weekend fishing trips on nearby Caddo Lake and pickup basketball games that kept his competitive spirit alive. His infectious positivity and willingness to volunteer at youth events made him a fixture in Vivians social fabric, fostering lifelong friendships.
As tributes pour in, including a Shreveport City Council resolution and a Vivian Chamber of Commerce meal train for his grieving family, Brocks legacy as a beacon of courage endures. Funeral arrangements remain pending, with calls for donations to fallen officer support funds echoing his commitment to service.
