- Louisiana State Police reaffirmed their findings that Lacy’s swerving and passing set off the chain of events, noting no dispute that he was behind the crash scene.
- LSP said it is preparing an investigative briefing video with evidence from before, during, and after the December 2024 crash for public release.
- Attorney General Liz Murrill announced an independent review of all witness statements and evidence in the case.
