Louisiana State Police issued a warrant for the arrest of superstar LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy.
On Dec. 17, 2024, Lacy, 24, crashed a 2023 Dodge Charger south on LA Highway 20 before fleeing the scene two days before the projected first-round pick declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.
According to the police report, Lacy “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.”
His alleged reckless driving caused a vehicle in the oncoming lane to abruptly brake to evade a collision with Lacy’s car. The car behind them, a Kia Cadenza, swerved left into oncoming traffic to avoid rear-ending the first vehicle. The Cadenza collided head-on with a Kia Sorrento that Lacy sped by as he drove around the crash and allegedly fled the scene.
The alleged traffic crash killed a passenger in the Sorrento, Herman Hall, a marine veteran, and injured two others, according to police.
Lacy is wanted on charges of negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run and reckless operation of a vehicle. His agent released a statement on the matter after police issued a warrant for his arrest.
“We are aware of the allegations that have been made regarding Kyren Lacy, and we want to take this opportunity to address them,” the statement read. “First and foremost, Kyren is fully cooperating with the authorities. We strongly believe that the facts will ultimately demonstrate the truth, but we respect the need for a full and thorough investigation. We recognize the concern and questions that may arise from these recent allegations. To anyone impacted, directly or indirectly, we want to assure that this matter is being taken very seriously, and we are committed to resolving it responsibly. Out of respect for the investigation and everyone involved, we will not be making further comments at this time.”
Lacy attended the University of Louisiana at Lafayette before transferring to LSU in 2022.
Across his five-year collegiate career, Lacy caught 162 passes for 2360 receiving yards and 26 touchdowns while serving as Tigers’ quarterback Garrett Nussmeier’s No. 1 option in the LSU passing attack.
