Former LSU WR Kyren Lacy found dead in Houston at age 24

The former LSU receiver, Kyren Lacy, was found dead on Saturday night in Houston, a LSU official confirmed to ESPN on Sunday.

A cause of death was not immediately known.

Lacy was accused of causing an accident that killed a 78 -year -old man on December 17 and then fled the scene without helping or calling the authorities. On January 12, the authorities were delivered, he was imprisoned and then released on bail of $ 151,000, according to police records.

The records of the Sheriff’s Office of the Parish of Lafourche (Louisiana) indicated that Lacy was accused of negligent homicide, a serious crime run over with death and reckless operation of a vehicle. According to WAFB-TV, a large jury would begin to listen to evidence in the case on Monday.

According to a press release from the State Police of Louisiana, Lacy allegedly drove a Dodge Charger 2023 on Louisiana’s 20 Highway and “multiple vehicles passed recklessly at a high speed when crossing the central line and entering the north lane while it was in a designated area of ​​not passing.”

“As Lacy passed the other vehicles illegally, the driver of a north truck abruptly stopped and diverted to the right to avoid a frontal collision with the Dodge that was approaching,” said a press release from the Louisian State Police.

“Traveling behind the truck was a Kia Cadenza 2017 whose driver deviated to avoid the Dodge Charger that approaches. While the Kia Cadenza took evasive measures to avoid the impact with the Dodge, crossed the central line and collided in front with a 2017 Kia Sorento to the south.”

Police claimed that Lacy, 24, led to the accident scene and fled “without stopping to provide help, call emergency services or inform their participation in the accident.”

Herman Hall, from Thibodaux, Louisiana, who was a passenger in Kia Sorento, then died from injuries suffered in the accident, according to the State Police.

Lacy’s agent, Rocky Arceneaux, said in a statement that his client was “totally cooperating with the authorities.”

Lacy declared for the NFL draft on December 19, two days after the accident, and did not play in LSU’s victory over Baylor in the Texas Bowl. He participated in March on the professional day of LSU and was classified as high as the receiver prospect No. 6 in the Draft by Mel Kper of ESPN in December. Lacy was not classified among the 10 main open receptors available at the Grand Board of Kiper, which was published last month.

Lacy played three seasons in LSU after starting his career in Louisiana. Lacy had its best season last year when he caught 58 passes for 866 yards and nine leading touchdowns in the team.
