Former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy has tragically passed away at the age of 24 in Houston, Texas. Authorities say Lacy died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following a pursuit by law enforcement officers. The pursuit ended when Lacy crashed his vehicle, and when officers approached, they found him deceased. This comes as Lacy was already facing criminal charges for his alleged involvement in a fatal car accident in Louisiana last December, which had impacted his chances in the upcoming NFL draft.
Lacy, who had led LSU in touchdowns receiving last season, had declared for the draft but saw his prospects decline after the incident in Louisiana, where he was accused of driving recklessly and causing a crash that resulted in the death of a 78-year-old man. He fled the scene without calling for help and was subsequently charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless operation of a vehicle.
LSU expressed their condolences, stating they were saddened by Lacy’s passing and extended thoughts and prayers to his family, friends, former teammates, and coaches. Lacy had played 12 games for LSU last season, recording impressive stats before his career was clouded in controversy. Despite his talent on the field, Lacy’s off-field actions seemed to have cost him his shot at a professional career as he faced legal issues following the tragic accident.
The sudden and untimely death of Kyren Lacy has shocked the LSU community and the football world, highlighting the importance of mental health and the impact of legal troubles on young athletes. Lacy’s promising career has been cut short, leaving a legacy tarnished by his final actions.
