Overview

• State police released a Critical Incident Briefing Video, full crash report, witness statements and body‑camera footage that reaffirm their finding that Lacy’s reckless passing triggered the chain of events in the December 17, 2024 crash.
• The agency’s materials cite surveillance showing a green Charger overtaking vehicles in a no‑passing zone and multiple witnesses identifying the Charger as causing the sequence that led to 78‑year‑old Herman Hall’s death.
• Lacy’s attorney, Matthew Ory, previously aired surveillance and timing data he says show Lacy had returned to his lane and was roughly 72.6 yards behind at impact, arguing the former LSU receiver did not cause the collision.
• Attorney General Liz Murrill said she has been in touch with state police to independently review all witness statements and evidence from the case.
• Civil‑rights groups and Louisiana Democrats are urging independent and potential federal investigations and proposing the “Lacy Law,” while the criminal case remains unresolved after Lacy’s April death from an apparent self‑inflicted gunshot wound during a Houston police pursuit.
