LSU WR Kyren Lacy has NFL future in doubt after major legal issues arise

According to WAFB9 in Louisiana, LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy has been issued an arrest warrant by Louisiana State Police and is wanted on charges of negligent homicide and felony hit-and-run. The crash occurred on December 17th, 2024 that killed a former United States Marine and injured two others, per Louisiana State Police.

The report from WAFB9 provided some details on the incident.

A Louisiana State Police document contains the following allegations about the incident: As Lacy was illegally passing the other vehicles, the driver of a northbound lane pickup truck abruptly braked and swerved to the right to avoid a head-on collision with the approaching Dodge. Traveling behind the pickup truck was a Kia Cadenza whose driver swerved left to avoid the oncoming Dodge Charger. As the Kia Cadenza took evasive action to avoid impact with the Dodge, it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a southbound Kia Sorrento. Following the crash, Lacy drove around the crash scene and fled south on LA Hwy 20 without stopping to render aid, call emergency services, or report his involvement in the crash. A passenger in the Kia Sorrento, Herman Hall of Thibodaux, was critically injured in the 10 a.m. crash and transported to a hospital where he later died, investigators said. Hall, age 78, was a former Marine. Louisiana State Police said LSP detectives and troopers were able to determine that Lacy was driving the Dodge Charger at the time.

Lacy declared for the NFL Draft on December 19th, two days after the alleged crash. 

Lacy emerged this past season with the Tigers, leading the team in receiving touchdowns and was the favorite target of Garrett Nussmeier.
