Overview

• Louisiana State Police published a Critical Incident Briefing video with the crash report, body‑cam footage, witness statements and reconstruction data, maintaining that Lacy’s reckless passing in oncoming traffic initiated the sequence that led to the fatal wreck.
• Investigators said surveillance showed a green Dodge Charger passing three cars and an 18‑wheeler in a no‑passing zone before a northbound pickup braked and a Kia Cadenza swerved left into a Kia Sorento, killing 78‑year‑old Herman Hall; the Cadenza driver was cited.
• Body‑cam video captured multiple witnesses referencing a green Charger, including one saying, “A green Charger caused all this,” and police said they traced the car’s uninterrupted path using up to 21 highway cameras.
• Lacy’s attorney, Matthew Ory, released footage he says places the Charger about 72.6 yards behind the impact and back in its lane, and questioned a trooper’s role in a witness statement; police said the later written statement reflected prior conversations.
• Attorney General Liz Murrill said she is reviewing the case file and emphasized that witnesses identified the Charger as setting events in motion, as civil‑rights groups and state Democrats urge independent reviews; prosecution ended after Lacy’s April suicide before a planned grand jury session.
