Louisiana State Police are looking into Kyren Lacy, a former LSU receiver, in relation to a car accident in December that claimed the life of a 78-year-old man in Lafourche Parish.
According to State Police, Lacy, who graduated from LSU in December and has declared for the NFL draft, was speeding and passing in a no-passing zone when a driver swerved to avoid her Dodge Charger and collided head-on with another car.
The 24-year-old Lacy left the site of the accident without being involved or phoning for help, according to officials with State Police Troop C in Gray, Louisiana. The former Tigers star has an arrest warrant from State Police for felony hit-and-run, reckless driving, and negligent murder.
According to the state police report, Herman Hall of Thibodaux, Louisiana, who was engaged in the head-on collision with another car, passed away after being taken to a hospital.
Regarding when Lacy might turn himself in, state police said they are consulting with his attorney. There was no mention of Lacy’s lawyer’s name.
During the 2024 season, Lacy, a native of Thibodaux, led the team in receiving touchdowns with nine in 12 games and finished second in catches with 58 and yards receiving with 866.
Days after the accident, Lacy announced his intention to enter the NFL Draft. He did not participate in LSU’s victory over Baylor in the Texas Bowl on December 31.
In order to respect the legal process, LSU has no comment at this time, according to spokesman Michael Bonnette.
