Louisiana State Police Drop New Surveillance Footage on Kyren Lacy Incident
The Louisiana State Police just released surveillance footage tied to the tragic Kyren Lacy crash— and it’s changing everything people thought they knew about that night.
The video, paired with new witness statements, goes directly against claims made by Lacy’s attorney, Matthew Ory, who insisted the late LSU football player wasn’t at fault in the deadly accident.
On Tuesday, the LSP dropped a “Critical Incident Briefing Video” giving the public a full look at what really happened in December 2024. That same crash claimed the life of 78-year-old Herman Hall, leaving behind family, friends, and an entire community in grief.
In the clip, Lacy’s green Dodge Charger is seen weaving dangerously through traffic, passing three cars and even a massive 18-wheeler — all while in a 40 MPH zone.
Moments later, tragedy hit. Lacy swerved to regain control of his lane, triggering a chain reaction that caused a woman’s car to slam head-on into Hall’s vehicle.
Witnesses Contradict Attorney’s Claims About Kyren Lacy’s Involvement
While Ory claimed Lacy’s Charger was about 100 yards away from the scene when the crash occurred, several eyewitnesses told police a completely different story.
In newly released bodycam footage, one witness is heard saying, “The green Charger caused all this.” Another driver told officers she was forced to swerve left to avoid being hit by a speeding car — that swerve led her directly into the deadly collision. According to police reports, Lacy’s “reckless operation” was identified as the primary cause of the sequence that led to the fatal wreck. The Louisiana State Police also confirmed Lacy “aggressively braked” moments before the crash in an attempt to avoid impact, but it was too late.
The female driver involved, though a victim herself, still received a citation for improper driving. Meanwhile, the grief rippled far beyond Baton Rouge. Lacy’s family has been left mourning under the weight of a complicated legacy — one that’s now tied to heartbreak, confusion, and unanswered questions.
Kyren Lacy’s Final Days and the Aftermath of the Tragedy
After facing charges for negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless operation of a vehicle, Kyren Lacy tragically took his own life on April 12, 2025. The news sent shockwaves through LSU and the broader sports world, with teammates and fans expressing disbelief.
Many remembered him as a standout player with a bright future — a man now forever remembered through the complexity of his final moments. Authorities said Lacy’s mental state had worsened under public scrutiny and mounting legal pressure. For many, his story is a haunting reminder of how quickly life can shift from triumph to tragedy.
Even in death, his story sparks debate — about accountability, mental health, and the intense pressure athletes face when their lives play out under a spotlight. The truth, as it stands now, lies in the footage that Louisiana State Police decided the world needed to see.
