Kendall Creighton Alexander, 34, was shot to death at the Potpourri South Apartments on East Mills Avenue in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, on December 29, 2013. Investigators found he had been shot at least six times in the back, the scene showed no signs of a struggle, and he had just ended a phone call immediately before the shooting.

His wife, St. Martin Parish Sheriff’s Office lieutenant Chrystal Clues Alexander, initially reported the shooting as self-defense. Court records introduced a long history of domestic conflict: Chrystal had sought restraining orders against Kendall three times beginning in 2005, and Kendall was arrested in 2007 for violating a protective order, stalking, and simple assault before pleading to disturbing the peace. Kendall had previously worked as a Breaux Bridge police officer and pleaded guilty to malfeasance in office in a financial fraud case.

A grand jury indicted Chrystal Alexander for second-degree murder in June 2014. Legal proceedings stretched for years; she later pleaded guilty to manslaughter, contested the plea, and litigation over that plea reached the state’s highest court. In February 2023 she was sentenced to 21 years in prison for Kendall’s killing.
