On Saturday, April 12, 2025 NFL draft hopeful Kyren Lacy was discovered dead in Houston and he was the accused behind the passing of Herman Hall in a car accident
Although the cause of the death of Kyren Lacy has not been confirmed by the authorities, multiple stories indicate that he committed suicide. He passed away just a few days before he was supposed to testify before a jury in a Louisiana collision case that resulted in a fatality. Herman Hall passed away last year of Lacy’s negligence.
Who is Herman Hall, marine veteran killed by football player Kyren Lacy in his Lafourche Parish, Louisiana car crash accident
As of now, the exact details surrounding his death still remain under investigation, but authorities have not released any official cause of death as of now. However, reports suggest a possible suicide.
Former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy died at age 24 in an apparent suicide in his car while being pursued by authorities in Houston, according to a Harrison County sheriff’s report.
Harris County authorities say their pursuit of Lacy late Saturday night ended when Lacy crashed and when officers approached the vehicle to extract Lacy, they say he had died in an apparent suicide.
Lacy was pronounced dead at the scene by the emergency responders.
Former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy, 24, who had declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, died while facing criminal charges related to a December 2024 crash in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana that killed 78-year-old marine veteran Herman Hall.
Lacy, who was from Thibodaux, Louisiana was driving recklessly speeding and passing in a no-passing zone when a motorist who was swerving to avoid Lacy’s Dodge Charger crashed head-on into another vehicle.
Herman Hall of Thibodaux, who was involved in a head-on crash, died after being transported to a hospital and authorities with State Police Troop C in Gray, Louisiana, said Lacy fled the scene of the accident without calling for help. Lacy was then booked with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run and reckless operation of a vehicle.
Louisiana State Police said that the alleged lane-swerving by 24-year-old Kyren Lacy caused two cars to hit head-on on LA Highway 20 in Chackbay, resulting in Herman Hall’s death on December 17, 2024. After two tours in Vietnam, Herman Hall returned to his cherished Louisiana post. After 36 years of service, he retired from his customs duty.
Herman Hall, 78, spent his entire life being proud of fighting for his country and the doting father, grandfather and beloved neighbor was a friend to all.
Hall lost his life on December 17, 2024, when Louisiana State Police said 24-year-old Kyren Lacy was swerving in and out of lanes on LA Highway 20 in Chackbay, causing two vehicles to crash head-on into one another. Herman Hall, a former Marine, was a passenger in a Kia Sorrento and was critically injured in the 10 a.m. crash and transported to a hospital where he later died.
Heather Dickerson, Hall’s daughter, told WAFB that her father “loved to garden.”
Dickerson stated that on the day of the crash, her parents were out running their regular errands. She actually gave her parents a call to check on them soon after the accident.
“She said we just got into a wreck,” Dickerson remembers her mother telling her. Her mother responded that “he’s fine, but he’s complaining about back pain” when she asked about her father as well. But Hell passed away not long after getting to the hospital.
Dickerson stated that she wants to make sure that Lacy’s fame does not result in any special treatment when she found out that he is allegedly to blame for the hit-and-run incident.
Stressing that he must face consequences, she told WAFB, “I don’t want it to be swept under the rug because of who they may or may not be and who they know. We all know that happens. We will make sure there is justice some way.”
Kyren Lacy accusations
In December 2024, Kyren Lacy was accused of the death of marine veteran Herman Hall, 78. A month after he reportedly left the accident scene without helping the victim or phoning the police, the NFL star potential turned himself in and was taken into custody.

On Monday, April 14, a grand jury was to begin hearing the evidence in the case before the football player’s death.
