An attorney for the late , the former LSU wide receiver who in April
after he was charged with negligent homicide and felony hit-and-run,
said Friday that Lacy’s car was far behind the accident at the time
of impact.
Speaking over a surveillance video that caught the December 17, 2024,
collision in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, attorney Matt Ory told Homa,
La., TV station HTV10 that Lacy’s car was so far behind the
collision, it was not visible in the video at the time of the accident.
“We know from data that Kyren Lacy did in fact pass four cars,
there’s no disputing that. Further north, Kyren Lacy passed four
cars,” Ory said.
“However, he was back in his lane of travel, 92.3 yards – back in
his lane – behind (the car occupying the man killed in the crash).
… He’s 72.6 yards behind the vehicles at the time of impact. Key
word, behind the vehicles. That is not how this story was ever painted.
Never.”
According to reports, police alleged Lacy crossed a center line in an
attempt to pass slower vehicles, which caused a pickup truck driver to
brake and swerve to avoid Lacy’s car. Another vehicle then allegedly
swerved to avoid the pickup and crossed the center line, crashing
head-on with a vehicle containing Herman Hall, 78. Hall later died at a
hospital.
The video depicts an SUV colliding head-on with another vehicle (part
of the collision is obscured by a parked vehicle) with a vehicle behind
the SUV coming to a stop. Nearly four seconds later, a car identified
by Ory as the one driven by Lacy appears in the camera, slows down and
appears to go around the accident.
Lacy was later charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with
death and reckless operation of a vehicle and surrendered to police in
mid-January.
On the night of April 12, two days ahead of his scheduled grand-jury
appearance, Lacy, 24, led authorities on a pursuit before crashing in
Spring, Texas. When deputies removed Lacy from the car to take him into
custody, they found him with the gunshot wound and he was pronounced
dead at the scene by emergency responders, the Harris County
Sheriff’s Office said.
Lacy, a native of Thibodaux, Louisiana, caught 58 passes for 866 yards
and shared the Southeastern Conference lead with nine touchdown
receptions in 12 games in 2024.
He finished his collegiate career with 162 catches for 2,360 yards and
26 touchdowns in 64 games with Louisiana (2020-21) and LSU (2022-24).
Largely viewed as an NFL prospect, Lacy’s name was not on the list of
players invited to the NFL Scouting Combine when it was released in
mid-February, a month after Lacy’s arrest.
