Kyren Lacy, a former LSU wide receiver, died at 24, reportedly by suicide amid scrutiny from a criminal investigation related to a fatal hit-and-run crash. His lawyer criticized the investigation, labeling it "overzealous" and a "witch hunt." Ory argued that the charges against Lacy were unjustified and had damaging effects on his mental health. Before his death, Lacy was facing serious charges following an incident that killed a 78-year-old man, and he had recently declared for the 2025 NFL Draft. Ory condemned the media's role in exacerbating Lacy's distress.
"We were very confident the evidence, after being fully collected and reviewed, would lead to a declination of charges. The decision by the investigating agency to charge him at all, in our view, was not only unjustified, it was disturbing."
"This so-called investigation took on the appearance of an overzealous, targeted effort—what can only be described as a witch hunt—fueled by who Kyren was and the public profile he carried."
