Overview

• On Oct. 7, Louisiana State Police released a full crash report and an 11‑minute briefing with surveillance, body‑camera footage and witness statements that they say detail Kyren Lacy’s illegal passing in a no‑passing zone moments before the collision.
• Investigators said Lacy’s green Dodge Charger did not strike any vehicles but his driving prompted evasive maneuvers that led to a head‑on crash killing 78‑year‑old Herman Hall.
• Defense attorney Matthew Ory maintains newly aired surveillance shows Lacy back in his lane 72 to 92 yards behind at impact and argues the footage contradicts the state’s conclusion.
• Attorney General Liz Murrill said she is reviewing the file as Democratic leaders and civil‑rights groups press for independent and federal inquiries and propose a “Lacy Law” targeting alleged false reporting.
• Lacy was arrested in January on negligent‑homicide, felony hit‑and‑run and reckless‑operation charges, and he died in April of an apparent self‑inflicted gunshot during a Houston police pursuit days before a grand‑jury review.
