Watch: New video evidence released in fatal 2024 crash involving Kyren Lacy

LAFOURCHE PARISH, La. (WGNO) — The Louisiana State Police has released new evidence in the crash reportedly involving LSU football player Kyren Lacey.

On Tuesday, Oct. 7, troopers released a crash report that includes security footage from a nearby business, showing an overview of what lead up to the fatal crash on Dec. 17, 2024.

Around 10 a.m., troopers reported responding to the crash scene at Louisiana Highway 20 near Perex Lane. Responding troopers said they learned 24-year-old Kyren Lacy was headed south on the highway in a green Dodge Charger “driving recklessly past multiple vehicles at a high rate of speed.”

According to the trooper’s investigation, the crash reconstruction shows Lacy’s position during the collision.

Witnesses in the video are heard making claims that Lacy was the cause of the crash. Additionally, there was a written witness statement noting “This lime green car passed us up and the two cars in front of us with oncoming traffic. The car had to put its brakes on to avoid being hit by the green car.”

In April, Lacy died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound inside his car while in Houston, Texas.
