The attorney for former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy said that Lacy was traveling well behind the scene of a crash that resulted in charges for negligent homicide and felony hit-and-run.
Lacy, 24, was found dead of an apparent suicide after a police pursuit in April in Houston. Lacy’s death came just two days after a grand jury hearing was scheduled regarding the charges from the December crash.

In an interview with Houma, Louisiana, station HTV 10, Lacy’s attorney said that Lacy was over 70 yards behind when 78-year-old Herman Hall’s car collided with another on Highway 20 in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, on Dec. 17. Attorney Matt Ory showed surveillance video obtained from a nearby gas station that depicted Lacy’s green Dodge Charger well behind the crash while traveling southbound.
“We know from data that Kyren Lacy did in fact pass four cars, there’s no disputing that, further north, Kyren Lacy passed four cars,” Ory said. “However, he was back in his lane of travel, 92.3 yards — back in his lane — behind Mr. Hall. At the time of impact. He’s 72.6 yards behind the vehicles at the time of impact. Key word, behind the vehicles. That is not how this story was ever painted. Never.”
Louisiana State Police said in January that their investigation had determined that Lacy had “recklessly passed multiple vehicles at a high rate of speed by crossing the centerline” in a no-passing zone. The statement from the police said that a truck had “abruptly braked” to avoid a collision with Lacy and that the car behind the truck swerved to avoid Lacy.
Per police, that car then collided with a Kia Sorento in which Hall was a passenger. Police also accused Lacy of driving around the crash and fleeing south “without stopping to render aid, call emergency services, or report his involvement in the crash.”
Ory also presented data that showed the truck that collided with the vehicle Hall was in was driving closely to the car ahead. You can watch the interview with Ory in full at the link above.

Lacy’s arrest warrant was issued approximately a month before the NFL Combine. Lacy’s agent said his client’s combine invitation was rescinded following the issuance of the warrant.
Lacy’s death came after a reported altercation with a family member and a short police pursuit. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said that Lacy refused to stop for a constable and was chased for “several miles” before he crashed and deputies discovered that he had shot himself before the crash occurred.
Lacy played at LSU for three seasons after he transferred from Louisiana and had 112 career catches for 1,692 yards and 16 TDs. He had 58 catches for 866 yards and nine touchdowns in 2024 before missing LSU’s Texas Bowl win over Baylor after the crash.

Mike Norvell buyout: What it would cost Florida State to move on from struggling Seminoles football coach
Getty Images After a Week 1 win over Alabama, no one expected Florida State coach Mike Norvell to end up on the hot seat again in 2025, but three consecutive losses in ACC play to Virginia, Miami and Pittsburgh turned up the pressure once again on Norvell in Tallahassee, as frustrations continue to mount over back-to-back seasons of major ACC struggles. The loss to Pittsburgh dropped Norvell's record in Tallahassee to 36-30, as the Seminoles, now 3-3, have seen extremely high highs and tremendously low lows since he took over in 2020. The high point was the 2024 season when they went undefeated in the regular season and won the ACC Championship, only to controversially get left out of the College Football Playoff at 13-0. After that season, his second straight season with double-digit wins, Norvell was awarded a massive new contract extension that takes him […]
