An lawyer for the late Kyren Lacy, the previous LSU broad receiver who died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound in April after he was charged with negligent murder and felony hit-and-run, stated Friday that Lacy’s automotive was far behind the accident on the time of impression.
Talking over a surveillance video that caught the Dec. 17, 2024, collision in Lafourche Parish, La., lawyer Matt Ory told Homa, La., TV station HTV10 that Lacy’s automotive was to this point behind the collision, it was not seen within the video on the time of the accident.
“We all know from information that Kyren Lacy did in reality go 4 vehicles, there’s no disputing that. Additional north, Kyren Lacy handed 4 vehicles,” Ory stated. “Nonetheless, he was again in his lane of journey, 92.3 yards ― again in his lane ― behind (the automotive occupying the person killed within the crash). … He’s 72.6 yards behind the autos on the time of impression. Key phrase, behind the autos. That’s not how this story was ever painted. By no means.”
Based on stories, police alleged Lacy crossed a middle line in an try and go slower autos, which brought on a pickup truck driver to brake and swerve to keep away from Lacy’s automotive. One other automobile then allegedly swerved to keep away from the pickup and crossed the middle line, crashing head-on with a automobile containing Herman Corridor, 78. Corridor later died at a hospital.
The video depicts an SUV colliding head-on with one other automobile (a part of the collision is obscured by a parked automobile) with a automobile behind the SUV coming to a cease. Almost 4 seconds later, a automotive recognized by Ory because the one pushed by Lacy seems within the digital camera, slows down and seems to go across the accident.

On the night time of April 12, two days forward of his scheduled grand-jury look, Lacy, 24, led authorities on a pursuit earlier than crashing in Spring, Texas. When deputies eliminated Lacy from the automotive to take him into custody, they discovered him with the gunshot wound and he was pronounced lifeless on the scene by emergency responders, the Harris County Sheriff’s Workplace stated.
