Kairen Lacy, an experienced football receiver who played for Louisiana State University, has passed away. A relative and LSU representative confirmed this news on April 13, 2025, citing multiple sources. Lacy, reportedly, was found dead on April 12 in Houston, Texas, a day before a grand jury was set to consider evidence related to Lacy’s previous arrest for hitting a pedestrian. Below, you will learn what happened to Lacy as updates in his case emerge.
Lacy was a football receiver for LSU who declared his participation in the 2025 NFL Draft. He played three seasons for LSU, with his best season being in 2024.
Lacy was 24 years old when he died, according to ESPN.
Although a relative and LSU representative confirmed the news of his death, the cause of Lacy’s death was not disclosed. It was later revealed that Lacy had taken his own life.
Earlier this year, Lacy got into legal trouble. According to ESPN, he was accused of being involved in a hit-and-run incident that resulted in the death of a 78-year-old man on December 17, 2024. Lacy surrendered to authorities on January 12, 2025, spent a short time in jail, and was then released on bail of $ 151,000.
A press release from the Louisiana State Police stated that Lacy allegedly was driving a 2023 Dodge Charger on Highway 20 and «recklessly passed several vehicles at a high rate of speed, crossing the center line and entering the northbound lane while in a no-passing zone».
«As Lacy unlawfully passed other vehicles, the driver of the northbound pickup abruptly braked and veered to the right to avoid a head-on collision with the approaching Dodge», - the police press release stated. «Following the pickup was a 2017 Kia Cadenza, whose driver turned left to avoid a collision with the approaching Dodge Charger. As the Kia Cadenza took evasive action to avoid a collision with the Dodge, it crossed the center line and collided head-on with a southbound 2017 Kia Sorento».
The Louisiana State Police further claimed that Lacy drove past the accident scene, then fled «without stopping to render aid, call emergency services, or report his involvement in the accident». Lacy’s agent, Rocky Arsenault, stated that his client is «fully cooperating with authorities», - according to ESPN.
