Louisiana State Police announced on Friday, Dec. 10, that they have issued a warrant for the arrest of former LSU football standout Kyren Lacy. The 22-year-old Lacy is wanted in connection with a tragic crash that took place on Dec. 17, resulting in the death of 78-year-old former Marine Heaman Hall and leaving two other individuals injured. Lacy faces multiple charges, including negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless operation of a vehicle.

According to Louisiana State Police, the accident occurred around 10 a.m. on Dec. 17, when Lacy’s vehicle allegedly collided with Hall’s car. Following the crash, police say Lacy fled the scene without alerting law enforcement or offering any help to the injured victims. Investigators are still piecing together details surrounding the incident but have emphasized Lacy’s failure to stay and assist as a key factor in their investigation.
In response to the allegations, Lacy’s agent, Rocky Arceneaux of Alliance Sports Management, issued a statement on behalf of the athlete. Arceneaux confirmed they were fully aware of the charges and reiterated Lacy’s commitment to cooperating with authorities throughout the investigation.
“We are aware of the allegations made regarding Kyren Lacy, and we want to take this opportunity to address them. First and foremost, Kyren is fully cooperating with the authorities. We strongly believe the facts will ultimately demonstrate the truth, but we respect the need for a full and thorough investigation. Out of respect for the investigation and everyone involved, we will not be making further comments at this time,” the statement read.

Lacy, who transferred to LSU in 2022 from another program, had a standout 2024 season as a wide receiver for the Tigers. He recorded 58 receptions for 866 yards and nine touchdowns, earning praise for his contributions to LSU’s offensive success. His performance was considered one of the best of his career, and he declared for the 2025 NFL Draft just two days after the fatal crash, on Dec. 19.
With the arrest warrant now issued, Lacy’s football future is uncertain. The allegations surrounding the crash have cast a shadow over his potential NFL career, and fans, teammates, and scouts alike are left questioning what impact this legal situation will have on his draft prospects and professional aspirations. While the investigation is still ongoing, many are watching closely to see how the legal proceedings unfold and whether Lacy will face further consequences beyond the criminal charges.
