Louisiana State Police have released a video with evidence they say supports the conclusion that former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy's actions triggered a fatal car crash in December 2024.

The result of the investigation had recently been questioned by Lacy's attorney, who told a Louisiana television station Lacy was nearly 100 yards behind a fatal hit-and-run accident that killed 78-year-old Herman Hall.

That prompted Louisiana State Police to release additional information related to the incident.

"Since the incident occurred, the Louisiana State Police never reported that the green (Dodge) Charger impacted any of the involved vehicles," the state police said in their video released Tuesday, Oct. 7. "However, all evidence collected supports the conclusion that Lacy's reckless operation of the green Charger in oncoming traffic triggered the chain of events involving the other drivers, ultimately resulting in the fatal crash."

Police said Lacy "recklessly passed multiple vehicles at a high rate of speed by crossing the centerline" into oncoming traffic in a don't pass zone on Louisiana Highway 20 on Dec. 17, 2024.

Lacy, 24, turned himself in and posted a $151,000 bond the same day. However, two days before he was set to face an April grand jury hearing, police were called to the home of a family member who had gotten into an argument with Lacy.

He fled, and after being chased by authorities crashed his car. Upon searching Lacy's vehicle, authorities discovered he had sustained what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the news release.

State police released additional redacted reports and bodycam footage on Tuesday. Police also said they used 21 separate highway cameras to capture the "uninterrupted path of the Charger" from the crash scene to a business 11 miles away.

"While we recognize that external narratives may arise, often based on selective information, we urge the public to rely on the full body of facts," state police superintendent Col. Robert P. Hodges said.

Lacy started his college career at Louisiana-Lafayette before transferring to LSU prior to the 2022 season.

At LSU, Lacy had 112 catches for 1,628 yards and 16 touchdowns. As a senior in 2024, he posted a career-high 58 catches for 866 yards and nine scores.

He declared for the NFL draft in December 2024, just two days after the crash, and did not play in LSU's win over Baylor in the Texas Bowl.
