NFL Draft prospect Kyren Lacy is being sought for negligent homicide in connection with a fatal hit-and-run accident.

An arrest warrant for negligent homicide has been issued for LSU receiver and NFL Draft prospect Kyren Lacy in Louisiana, following allegations that he fled a deadly car crash last month.

On December 17, Lacy, a 24-year-old driver, was traveling recklessly and exceeding the speed limit while driving on the highway, according to a press release from the Louisiana State Police issued on Friday.

Lacy was driving in a No-Passing Zone when a pickup truck driver swerved to avoid a head-on collision with her while she was crossing the centerline.

The pickup truck's actions caused the Kia Cadenza driver to swerve and collide head-on with another vehicle in the southbound lane.

Herman Hall, a 78-year-old passenger in a Kia Cadenza, was transported to a hospital and later died, according to police.

Lacy is being charged with both negligent homicide and a felony hit-and-run after police claim he drove around the accident scene and fled without stopping to provide aid or call 911. Additionally, he is accused of failing to inform law enforcement about his role in the incident.

Lacy, a former LSU star, has been in contact with law enforcement after being charged with reckless operation of a vehicle, according to Louisiana State Police.

In 2022, Lacy joined LSU and during this season, he caught 58 passes for 866 yards and nine touchdowns. However, he did not participate in LSU's victory over Baylor in the Texas Bowl on December 31.

Lacy declared for the 2025 NFL Draft just two days after the crash.

LSU has had a significant impact on my life both on and off the field over the past three years. The experience of playing in Death Valley, surrounded by the best fans in the country, is one I will never forget. Few people get to fulfill their dreams like this, and I am eternally grateful for it.

"I want to thank my coaches, support staff, and trainers for helping me grow as a football player and as a person. While we didn't achieve our goal of winning a national championship, I promise to carry the life lessons I learned with me into the next stage of my life."
