    JEANERETTE, La. ( KLFY ) — The Lafayette Police officer killed in Thursday’s hostage standoff in Jeanerette will be remembered with a candlelight vigil tonight.

    The gathering for Cpl. Segus R. Jolivette will take place tonight at 7 p.m. at a pavilion half a mile down from Jeanerette City Hall, which is located at 1010 Main St. in Jeanerette.

    Jolivette was killed after a standoff Thursday that began when officials attempted to serve an arrest warrant to 31-year-old Nyjal Hurst, who was inside of a home located in the 2500 Block of Martin Luther King Drive.
