Louisiana State Police have issued an arrest warrant for former LSU football standout Kyren Lacy. Lacy is wanted on charges of negligent homicide and felony hit-and-run following a December 17, 2024 traffic crash that killed a former Marine and injured two others, Louisiana State Police said.
Louisiana State Police say they are “in communication with Lacy and his legal representation to turn himself in.”
After allegedly causing the crash, investigators allege Lacy sped from the scene and did not report his involvement to police.
Louisiana State Police allege Lacy was driving a 2023 Dodge Charger south on LA Highway 20 and “recklessly passed multiple vehicles at a high rate of speed by crossing the centerline and entering the northbound lane while in a designated No-Passing Zone.”
The former LSU wide receiver declared for the NFL Draft just two days after the crash.
Lacy’s agent issued the following statement late Friday afternoon:
“We are aware of the allegations that have been made regarding Kyren Lacy and we want to take this opportunity to address them. First and foremost, Kyren is fully cooperating with authorities. We strongly believe that the facts will ultimately demonstrate the truth but we respect the need for a full and thorough investigation.
