Kyren Lacy was wrongly framed? Disturbing new video raises alarming doubts about ex-LSU star's death

Kyren Lacy was a wide receiver for the LSU Tigers with a promising future in the NFL. But merely two days before he was declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, Lacy was involved in a fatal car accident and charged with negligent homicide. Unfortunately, he died by apparent suicide four months later.

Kyren Lacy was accused of causing a car accident that led to the death of 78-year-old Herman Hall in December last year. Authorities accused Lacy of reckless driving, saying he crossed the centerline, forced another vehicle to swerve, and then fled the scene without helping.

Video raises questions in Kyren Lacy's crash

A shocking new video from Houma TV’s HTV reveals former LSU star Kyren Lacy was driving behind — not in front of — the vehicles in last year’s crash, contradicting the initial police narrative. The footage suggests Lacy didn’t cause the wreck, challenging what investigators originally told the public.

Kyren Lacy's lawyer Mathhew Ory in an interview with HTV explained an investigative report detailing the December 2024 car accident that led to Herman Hall’s death. The investigative report stated that Lacy's vehicle was approximately 72 yards away from the incident and about 120 yards from the active cars involved in the crash.

During the HTV interview, Ory pointed to a portion in the report, attributing it to the District Attorney’s office, saying, “The evidence submitted in the crash report does not support that Kyren Lacy should have known that his actions were the cause of the crash that happened approximately 72 yards in front of him.”

Lacy was also not passing cars on the road when the crash happened, as assumed in the District Attorney’s report. A woman from the scene of the crash gave a statement to LSP however, bodycam footage obtained by Ory shows the state trooper instructing the witness to say that she had to brake harshly to dodge Lacy’s charger.

Lacy was arrested in January of 2025 on the charges of hit-and-run driving with serious injury or death, reckless operation with accident, and negligent homicide. Lacy died in April 2025 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, just a day before a grand jury hearing in the case. Louisiana police have not released a statement at this time.

Kyren Lacy's death

Kyren Lacy's death occurred just two days before the hearing was set to begin. Had he been found guilty, he would’ve been facing up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. Even if he wasn’t found guilty, his involvement in the crash could have seriously jeopardized his NFL career. “That is not how this story was painted. Never,” Ory said.

Lacy, 24, was once seen as a promising NFL prospect and had earned an invitation to the 2025 Combine—an opportunity later withdrawn after an arrest warrant was issued against him. His death followed a reported family dispute and a police chase in Houston, during which authorities say he fatally shot himself before crashing his vehicle. During his three seasons at LSU, Lacy tallied 112 receptions for 1,692 yards and 16 touchdowns, including an impressive 866 receiving yards in 2024.
