Who was Marc Tyler Brock? Here's how Vivian police officer died
According to KSLA, Brock was a lifelong resident of Vivian, starting his career with the Vivian Police Department at the age of 20 as a dispatcher. After one year, he transitioned to a part-time police officer role, and shortly thereafter, he became a full-time officer.
During the search warrant, upon Officer Brock's arrival at the suspect's residence shortly before 5:30 p.m., the suspect fired multiple rounds through the closed door, striking Officer Brock. The suspect then barricaded himself inside the house until he eventually surrendered to SWAT and law enforcement officials at around 9:10 p.m.
Officer Brock was transported to the North Caddo Medical Center, where he unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.
The suspect was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and cyberstalking.
