Kyren Lacy Died Because Of A Lie!

His name should be on jerseys not tombstones. He was wrongly accused of a fatal car accident. His lawyers have proof he did not cause an accident. Now the lawyers are trying to clear his name.

A former wide receiver playing for Louisiana State University was accused of vehicular homicide. Now the lawyer representing him is trying to clear his name.

He couldn't hear the news because he committed suicide.

Kyren Lacy passed away after he was cut from the Tigers football team. He was accused of murder and had his career collapsed. Upon the day of the trial, he committed suicide in Texas after a family dispute that lead to a police chase.

Lacy was born on December 27, 2000, in Thibodaux, Louisiana, where he grew up and attended Thibodaux High School. As a senior, he had 54 receptions for 864 yards and 18 touchdowns. Ranked as the 10th wide receiver in Louisiana for the 2020 class, he committed to University of Louisiana at Lafayette to play college football as a three-star recruit, declining offers from Houston, Louisiana–Monroe, Louisiana Tech, Miami, and Virginia.

Louisiana State Police issued an arrest warrant for Lacy. He was accused of speeding and illegally passing people on Louisiana Highway 20 and causing a head-on car crash that killed a 78-year-old passenger on December 17, 2024. Lacy reportedly fled the scene without calling authorities or emergency services. 

Lacy was arrested on January 12, after he agreed with authorities to turn himself in. He was released on the same day on a $151,000 bail and charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with death, and reckless operation of a vehicle by the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office. In October 2025, Lacy's attorney was interviewed on local news, featuring footage he claimed exonerated Lacy.
Lacy took his own life days before he was set to appear before a grand jury.

His attorney, Matt Ory, provided the district attorney's findings compared to the surveillance footage in a 40-minute interview with HTV's Martin Folse and disputed the claim that Lacy caused the crash.

According to documentation provided by Ory of the district attorney's investigation into LSP's report, "The evidence submitted in the report does not support that Kyren Lacy should have known his actions were the cause of the crash that happened approximately 72 yards in front of him."

According to Ory, Lacy did pass four vehicles that were going about 35-40 miles per hour in a no-pass zone, but Ory said Lacy returned into the lane about 90 yards behind where the crash happened.

"He was 72.6 yards [away] before they collide. He is almost a football field away back in his lane. You can see another car come to a stop and then Kyren Lacy come to a stop."

Ory also said while he was illegally passing in a no-pass zone, Lacy was too far away from the crash to fit the definition of him actively passing at the time of the crash. He said Lacy was 120 yards apart from vehicles involved in the crash as he re-entered his lane; anyone legally passing has to be back within their lane of travel within 100 feet, Ory said.

Demands to hold the Louisiana State Police trooper who wrote the report accountable are growing.

"In the conclusion of the district attorney's report, [LSP] gave the impression that Kyren Lacy was actively passing vehicles when the crash occurred, which is incorrect," Ory said.

Ory said the driver of the second vehicle involved, which was the one that hit Hall's vehicle, gave statements saying she tried to avoid a gold truck she was behind rather than Lacy's green Dodge Charger. The report that he says is from the district attorney's investigation said the trooper questioning that driver "attempted to recap what she was saying, which seems to contradict her statements."

Ory also provided body-cam footage of the trooper getting a statement from the driver of the gold truck at a later time. The footage shows the trooper directing the driver to include that "you had to slam on your brakes to avoid that Charger." The gold truck's driver said the woman driving the car behind him caused the wreck when she pulled into the other lane to avoid hitting the back of the truck.

Additionally, that driver said in the body cam footage he "wasn't going fast" and "didn't even cause any skid marks," but the written report from the driver said he had to "slam on the brakes" and emergency brake to try and avoid the crash. The body cam was also turned off as the driver wrote his report, Ory said.

Ory also took issue with LSP never questioning a passenger in Lacy's car at the time of the crash.

"There was another passenger in Kyren Lacy's car. They knew this. They have video footage of this individual getting out of the car. Why didn't you ascertain his identity? Why would you not want to hear the person with one of the best views of this incident? Why would you not bring him in for questioning?"

Louisiana State Police issued a statement to WBRZ saying they conducted a "detailed investigation with the assistance of crash reconstruction experts and with all available information at the time."

"Investigative findings revealed that Mr. Lacy’s reckless driving while approaching oncoming traffic led to the events of the crash," Louisiana State Police said. "The findings were presented to the 17th Judicial District Court, which approved an arrest warrant based on the evidence collected. As with all investigations leading to arrest, the subjects of the investigation are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law."

Ory also made a post to his Facebook praising the district attorney for her independent investigation, calling it "the kind of leadership we should expect from our District Attorney: a commitment to justice, regardless of external pressure or any narrative being pushed." That full statement is below:


Two days before a scheduled grand jury hearing related to the December 2024 car crash, Lacy got into a verbal argument with a family member and Lacy fired a gun into the ground before fleeing the scene. A vehicle pursuit with the police occurred, lasting several miles, and ended when Lacy's vehicle crashed. Lacy was found dead in his car, appearing to have died by suicide by firearm prior to the crash as both the body camera and dashcam revealed no shots were fired after the pursuit ended.
