He was 24.

The cause of death is suspected to be suicide...

Lacy’s death comes months after he was arrested for his alleged involvement in a crash that killed a 78-year-old man in December.

A grand jury was scheduled to begin hearing the case on Monday...

He was accused of speeding in a 2023 Dodge Charger and crossing the center line in a no-passing zone, causing other drivers to swerve, which led to the death of Herman Hall. Lacy then allegedly fled the scene.

“The driver of the Dodge, later identified as 24-year-old Kyren Lacy of Thibodaux, 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,” a Louisiana State Police Department release said in January.

“As Lacy was illegally passing the other vehicles, the driver of a northbound pickup truck abruptly braked and swerved to the right to avoid a head-on collision with the approaching Dodge. Traveling behind the pickup was a 2017 Kia Cadenza whose driver swerved left to avoid the on coming 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 2017 Kia Sorento.

A different article said he turned himself in after about 4 weeks. I suspect it took that long to triangulate witness testimony, cell tower pings, license plate readers and etc.

Terrific receiver but he was not going to get drafted with the legal issues hanging over his head. He would’ve made nada as his UDFA contract would’ve had a bunch of contingencies.

He was an outstanding WR and NFL prospect. Had a terrific campaign in 2024 and elected his draft stock. 4th round prospect before all the legal issues...
