ALEXANDRIA, La. — A group of Louisiana LEOs accompanied a teenager to her school homecoming in honor of her fallen officer father.

The Town Talk reports Margaux Carruth, 17, was escorted during her school’s homecoming game by Alexandria police officers. The gesture was in honor of her father, Officer Jeremy Carruth, who was killed on Feb. 20, 2003 when he was attempting to serve a search warrant.

Margaux wore a powder-blue suit and navy hat to honor the men and women in uniform.

Margaux’s stepfather, a U.S. Army Reserve captain and former LEO, along with one of his partners, were originally supposed to escort her before the other 10 officers decided to join in. The officers wanted to show her and her sister, Noelle Carruth, support and show them the kind of person their father was.
