LSU Wide Receiver Kyren Lacy Wanted for Fatal Hit-and-Run Charges

Police allege Lacy caused a deadly crash in December, fled the scene, and now faces charges including negligent homicide.

  • Louisiana State Police have issued an arrest warrant for Kyren Lacy, a former LSU wide receiver and NFL draft prospect, for negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless vehicle operation.
  • The incident occurred on December 17, 2024, when Lacy allegedly drove recklessly on Louisiana Highway 20, causing a chain-reaction crash that resulted in the death of 78-year-old Herman Hall and injuries to two others.
  • Authorities claim Lacy fled the scene without providing aid, contacting emergency services, or reporting his involvement in the crash.
  • Lacy declared for the 2025 NFL Draft just two days after the incident, but his draft prospects are now in question due to the severity of the charges.
  • LSU has not commented on the case, and police are in communication with Lacy's legal team to arrange his surrender.
