The family of late Louisiana State University football star Kyren Lacy has filed a lawsuit against the Louisiana State Police, claiming the investigation into Lacy contributed to his untimely death.. Lacy's family blames state authorities for what they claim was "reckless misconduct," arguing the stress of the investigation into the young athlete led to his death by suicide in April 2025. Lacy was 24. The football player was accused of causing a fatal car crash in Louisiana that killed a 78-year-old man and injured two others in December 2024.
