Kyren Lacy was found dead in his car two days before his hearing in April. The former wide receiver was facing charges for allegedly killing a 78-year-old man in an accident, felony hit-and-run, and reckless driving in December 2024. However, some new details about the saga recently came to light, and Jason Whitlock is still trying to wrap his head around everything, seeking answers.

The former LSU wide receiver's attorney disputed the charges against Lacy with a new surveillance video that showed the youngster over 70 yards away from the car he allegedly crashed. Pat McAfee discussed the matter on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Monday, calling it heartbreaking and disgusting.

"Does anyone know the definitive truth on this story? This isn’t it," Whitlock reposted the clip with the caption on X.

The Louisiana State Police arrested Lacy in January, but he was released on a $151,000 bail the same day. He was instructed to appear in front of a grand jury three months later.

Lacy got into an argument with one of his family members just two days before his hearing in April and reportedly fired a shot at the ground before fleeing the scene. The cops chased him for several miles but found him dead following a car crash.
