Former LSU football star Kyren Lacy has been released from jail after posting bail on charges stemming from a deadly hit-and-run car accident.

Lacy has been cooperating with police since an arrest warrant was issued.

The talented wide receiver was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex early Sunday evening. He was released on $151,000 bond, according to a report from WAFB.

Kyren Lacy was wanted on negligent homicide and felony hit-and-run charges stemming from a Dec. 17, 2024 accident that killed a former Marine and injured two others. Investigators alleged Lacy fled the scene of the accident, which occurred at approx. 10 a.m. ET, after initially causing it. He also did not report his involvement to police, according to investigators.

Lacy’s agent, Rocky Arceneaux of Alliance Sports, addressed the situation and said Lacy is “fully cooperating” with authorities.

Arcenaux and Alliance are representing Lacy, who recently declared for the 2025 NFL Draft. He said the agency wouldn’t have any further comment on the matter, but is taking it “very seriously.”

“We are aware of the allegations that have been made regarding Kyren Lacy, and we want to take this opportunity to address them,” Arceneaux said. “First and foremost, Kyren is fully cooperating with the authorities. We strongly believe that the facts will ultimately demonstrate the truth, but we respect the need for a full and thorough investigation.

“We recognize the concern and questions that may arise from these recent allegations. To anyone impacted, directly or indirectly, we want to assure that this matter is being taken very seriously, and we are committed to resolving it responsibly. Out of respect for the investigation and everyone involved, we will not be making further comments at this time.”

Lacy is also wanted on a charge of reckless driving, according to court records. Louisiana State Police were “in communication with Lacy and his legal representation to turn himself in,” according to WAFB’s Ethan Tuttle.
