Former LSU Star Kyren Lacy Arrested Over Fatal December Car Crash

Lacy faces multiple felony charges, including negligent homicide and hit-and-run, after allegedly causing a crash that killed a 78-year-old man and injured two others.

Kyren Lacy, 24, turned himself in to authorities and was released on a $151,000 bond after being charged in connection with a fatal car crash on December 17, 2024.
Lacy faces charges of negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with death, and reckless operation of a vehicle, according to police records.
Authorities allege Lacy was driving recklessly, speeding, and passing in a no-passing zone, leading to a chain reaction crash involving two other vehicles.
The crash resulted in the death of 78-year-old Herman Hall, a retired Marine, and moderate injuries to two other individuals, while Lacy fled the scene without rendering aid or contacting emergency services.
Lacy, a top NFL Draft prospect, declared for the 2025 Draft two days after the crash and is reportedly cooperating with the ongoing investigation.
