Louisiana State Police released a “Critical Incident Briefing Video” after Kyren Lacy’s attorney provided evidence in an attempt to prove the innocence of the late LSU star on charges he was facing before dying by suicide in April.
Lacy was under investigation in Louisiana for a crash in December that left 78-year-old Herman Hall, a passenger, dead. He was accused of driving recklessly — speeding and passing in a no-passing zone — when the motorist swerved to avoid Lacy and crashed into another vehicle.
The video appeared to show that Lacy was driving at “a high rate of speed, passing three passenger vehicles and one loaded 18-wheeler in a designated no-passing zone with a 40 mph posted speed limit,” according to police. Lacy’s attorney, Matthew Ory, said there was “no disputing” that Lacy illegally passed four vehicles, which was also caught on surveillance.
“All evidence collected supports the conclusion that Lacy’s reckless operation of the green Charger into oncoming traffic triggered the chain of events involving the other drivers, ultimately resulting in the fatal crash.”
Rocky Arceneaux, Lacy’s agent, said in January that his client was cooperating with authorities in the investigation.
Lacy transferred to LSU in 2022. He had his best season in 2024, when he recorded 58 catches for 866 yards and nine touchdowns.
