NFL Star’s Heartbreaking Death at 24

The Louisiana State University football program is mourning the loss of an alum. 

On April 12th, Kyren Lacy, a previous wide receiver for LSU, tragically passed away in his vehicle during a police pursuit in Houston, as stated by the Harris County Sheriff’s office on April 13th, according to ESPN. He was just 24 years old.

On the evening of April 12th, authorities received a call from a female relative of Lacy, who reported that Lacy had discharged a firearm during an argument earlier that night. This information was later shared with ESPN by Harris County authorities. Upon their arrival at the scene, police were informed that the ex-football player had left in a vehicle.

Upon further investigation, I sadly discovered myself in my vehicle, which had met with a fatal accident. According to reports from ESPN, citing law enforcement sources, it seems that the tragic event may have been a result of suicide. I am an alumnus of LSU.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve been reaching out to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, inquiring about the latest on the tragic case of Lacy. Alas, they haven’t gotten back to me just yet, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hopeful for some updates soon!

Following Lacy’s demise, LSU, the institution where he spent three seasons, expressed their condolences on social media. Their message read, “Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and ex-teammates who are mourning his loss.

Lacy’s father, Kenny Lacy, also shared an emotional social media post mourning his son. 

He expressed that our lives are forever altered, something which will never feel right, but he believes God required his baby more than here on earth. This is an incredibly difficult pill for our families to swallow, but I am confident that the love and compassion within us will help us endure. We may never grow accustomed to this pain, but we’ll find a way to continue living.

His note also included emphasis on checking in on kids’ mental health.

New parents, begin having open conversations with your children from a young age to help them feel secure enough to share their feelings with you. Avoid accepting simple responses like ‘I’m fine’ or ‘I’m good,’ when you sense there might be more going on beneath the surface. Remember, mental health is genuine and often unseen, so don’t disregard subtle signs, even if they appear minor.
