Kyren Lacy Was Set To Stand In Front of Grand Jury
Kyren Lacy, the former Louisiana State University wide receiver who played three seasons at the school, was found deceased in Houston on Saturday.
Investigators said the 24-year-old
Lacy, who was accused of causing a head-on crash that killed a 78-year-old man, was scheduled to have his case heard by a grand jury on Monday.
The former Louisiana State University wide receiver was arrested in December 2024 and charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless driving after authorities presumed he was involved in a fatal car accident that killed one individual and injured others.
Now, that case is going to go out the window with his sudden death.
