Kyren Lacy's death sends shock waves through sports world: 'Check on your people'

Lacy was found dead in Houston, an LSU official confirmed to Fox News Digital. The cause of death was not announced. Lacy was 24.

Several athletes reacted to Lacy's death on X.

He was accused of driving recklessly - speeding and passing in a no-passing zone - when the motorist swerved to avoid Lacy and crashed into another vehicle.

He fled the scene of the crash without calling for aid, Louisiana State Police said. An arrest warrant was obtained for Lacy for negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run and reckless operation of a vehicle.

A grand jury was reportedly set to hear evidence in the case on Monday.

Lacy transferred to LSU in 2022. He had his best season in 2024 when he had 58 catches for 866 yards and nine touchdowns.
