A GoFundMe account has been established for the two young sons of a man killed Saturday in a hit-and-run on Horseshoe Drive.
Donnie Cayer died on Saturday after being hit by a retired Louisiana State Police trooper, 60-year-old David Brett Westmoreland, who later was charged with first-offense DWI, hit and run and vehicular homicide after his arrest by the Alexandria Police Department.
Cayer had been bicycling on the busy two-lane road with one of his sons on a trip to feed geese and ducks that frequent Bayou Robert and a pond that fronts the Tennyson Oaks subdivision. Donnie was a single father of two boys that he loved dearly. It is a great tragedy that the boys will grow up without their hardworking father, reads the fundraiser.
