I guess that's one way to stay out of jail? He probably wouldn't have had to serve any time too.

He wasn't even facing much time; the maximum for negligent homicide is five years. It's possible he might have received no jail time. That said, we don’t know what he was dealing with or feeling, and it seems weird to speculate.

Which suggests, perhaps, that the guilt was tearing him up.  I don't know, but I have heard that people do not want to face the families of the victim and it can push them to this point.  Again, can't speak for him, but I know how I might feel.

New information obtained by WBRZ says Lacy was arguing with a family member shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday. He reportedly pulled out a gun and shot it at the ground before leaving the area.

About 30 minutes later, a constable spotted Lacy driving and attempted to make a traffic stop. Deputies said Lacy refused to stop and was chased for several miles before crashing.

A report from the Harris County Sheriff's Office says that when deputies walked up to Lacy's vehicle to take him into custody, they didn't realize he shot himself during the pursuit and before the crash.

The WBRZ Investigative Unit reported that Lacy was set to appear before a grand jury on Monday connected to a fatal crash in Lafourche Parish. He was arrested by Louisiana State Police in December 2024. Troopers said he was speeding and driving across the center line in a no-passing zone on La. 20, causing a wreck that killed 78-year-old Herman Hall. Lacy was arrested and booked for negligent homicide, felony hit and run, and reckless operation of a vehicle. He bonded out less than two hours after being booked.

Apparently he was in a pursuit with police and committed suicide after he crashed his car. Doesn’t sound like he was a good kid who just made a mistake imo. 

We have no idea what was going on in this kids mind.. Sounds like he needed help, and wasn't getting it. Good kids can make fatal mistakes, just like bad kids can become good kids.

While it's awful he ended his life, I'm glad he didn't end up killing anybody else driving his car. Very scary he shot himself while he was still driving the car and I'm glad he didn't hit another car after he did it.

Not sure what is up with all of these SEC players and driving insanely high speeds in cars. I feel like Georgia has about 5 arrests/year with dudes driving over 100 on a highway

Yeah, I honestly think when something like this happens (reckless driving that leads to death or serious injury), the person should lose their license for life; I don't care if you are 18 or 60. If they are then caught driving afterwards, mandatory jail time.

I don't think throwing the book at someone (i.e., many years in jail) for a first time offense for something like this is the answer. However, driving, like many things, is a privilege and it should 100% be lost when anybody does something stupid like this.

tragic all the way around. i feel sorry for everyone involved. 

most of us make mistakes that could have led to someone dying had only one or two tiny variables not worked in our favor.

when mistakes are made, it's important to have a good, graceful, supportive, and redemptive support system around that won't condemn you when everyone and everything else does. kid probably didn't have that.

Unstable mental state and a firearm. Not a good combination. Unfortunately this is a very distinctly American storyline.

this is going to sound flaky and corny--but not corn flaky--but some of us have been around kids in our professions to learn a lot about them.  I used to think, "That kid needs discipline, so he needs detention or some form of punishment."  I realized that it was not working in the long term--it was hurting.  So I researched it for 20 years. To overly simplify it, I studied the trauma that kids grow up in that is beyond their control.  I studied their developing brains and how they are often stunted by the trauma around the kids.  I came to the conclusion--you don't fix the kid by trying to change him/her, you try to fix their environments.  Bad or violent behavior is nearly always a reaction to the situation that surrounds the kid. It is more about random chance (circumstances he was born into) that some plan to be evil or mean.  Yes, he was wrong to run from the cops and to argue with the family, and to be holding a firearm, etc. But suicide is usually the choice when the victim does not see another way out.  I feel for him, his family, his victims and their families.  I have a fair idea of what might have happened to cause this. If you are middle class, white, and surrounded by a loving, supportive family, judging him would be easy.  If you are from a home that is victimized by bigotry, poverty, and violence--from a broken home characterized by alcohol and drug abuse and incarcerations--you live by a different code.  It is tragic because in all likelihood, we failed him more than he failed us, but society does not think that way.

      Kassidy Hill @KassidyGHill · 8m Dave Canales starts off with an excited, "That was a great day."  Practice was definitely popping today.   Darin Gantt @daringantt · 7m Hunter Renfrow (hamstring) was held out today, along with Mike Jackson (toe) and Pat Jones (illness).  All seem reasonably minor. Canales said Renfrow told him he'd have played this week.   Steve Reed @SteveReedAP · 7m WR Hunter Renfrow tweaked a hamstring and CB Mike Jackson sprained his toe. Neither injury is considered serious. Dave Canales said if there was a game this week he could play. Pat Jones has a respiratory issue. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 7m Hunter Renfrow tweaked his hammy but told Dave he could have played in a game. Mike Jackson (toe) and Pat Jones (illness) also held out of practice.    Joe Person @josephperson · 7m Panthers injury updates: -Hunter Renfrow has slight hamstring issue. -Mike Jackson has a sprained toe. -Pat Jones has an upper-respiratory illness.   Steve Reed @SteveReedAP · 6m Tetairoa McMillen had had some really bad plays and some really great plays in camp, per Dave Canales. Likes the way he bounced back from an early drop today in full padded practice.   Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 3m Canales says that Jaycee Horn punted the ball after he made an INT today. That explains Chuba Hubbard’s punt after his rushing touchdown today. Canales on the competitiveness: We can’t have that because of penalties … then he smiles … “but I kind of like it.” Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 4m “Let a dominant play be dominant,” Canales on guys showboating to the point of drawing penalties. Then jokingly acknowledges that he “loves” the bravado. #Panthers Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 5m #Panthers coach Dave Canales calls the competition in practice “special” and says Bryce Young’s big day is a product of his receivers being where they are supposed to be. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 5m “Corey Thornton is having a great camp.” - HC Dave Canales said when talking about the physicality at corner vs. McMillan. Canales said he earned a bunch of reps from how he performed in OTAs. #Panthers  (I concur fwiw)

      ke Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 26m Lot of contact against Jaycee Horn but McMillan with another diving catch off a well-placed ball by BY9. #Panthers Steve Reed @SteveReedAP · 29m Oh training camp… 😂 Ja’Tavion Sanders catches a TD pass on the goal line against Jaycee Horn. Horn complains of a push off (no call). Sanders spins the ball in front of the defense on the sideline. A member of the defense picks the ball up and throws it at Sanders.   Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 23m Bryce Young’s best practice. Not even close. What a day for the third-year QB.   Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 20m Oh by the way, the period is punctuated by Chuba Hubbard touchdown run, and then a Chuba Hubbard punt toward the defensive sideline.   Carolina Blitz @KeepBlitzin · 23m Bryce scrambles. Nick Scott meets him at the goal line. He connects and has a few words for Young who without hesitation claps back. B9 not afraid of the smoke.   Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 10m Practice is done. Easily the most competitive this summer.

      oe Person @josephperson · 49m Jaycee Horn with a nice pick during team drills on a Bryce Young pass intended for Xavier Legette. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 49m Bryce Young does an excellent job of stepping up in the pocket, fires at McMillan and it’s dropped with Thornton in coverage. I think that’s TMac’s first legit drop of practice. He’s been pretty much automatic otherwise (no one will read this last sentence, I’m sure).   ex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 45m Looks like a one-handed catch from Tetairoa McMillan on the left sideline, delivered by Bryce Young. Play before: Rookie TJ Luther … what a contested catch delivered by Andy Dalton. Highlight plays galore! Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 48m Bryce Young throws a pick to Jaycee Horn and comes back with a dime to Adam Thielen toward the left sideline. Competitive series.    Person @josephperson · 39m Ryan Fitzgerald had his worst statistical day. 2-5, but all three misses would’ve been good on regulation goalposts. Joe Person @josephperson · 46m One-handed catch by Tetairoa McMillan on a fade pass by Bryce Young. 11v11   Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 35m McMillan with an excellent diving catch on a low throw by BY. Dude is bouncing back after his first drop  in a big way. Makes another catch to follow that one up. ike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 30m JT Sanders with a catch over Jaycee Horn for a TD in RZ 11 on 11. Arguably offensive PI.    ike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 29m Chau Smith-Wade with another near pick in 11s on a throw from BY9 to Legette. #Panthers Joe Person @josephperson · 30m JT Sanders with a touchdown in red zone. Fade pass by Bryce. Jaycee Horn  in coverage. Sanders spun the ball in front of the defensive sideline after the score.   Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 29m This red zone drill is electric. Among the many highlights: JT Sanders isolated with Jaycee Horn. Bryce Young launches a perfectly placed back-shoulder fade. Touchdown.  Sanders spins the ball in front of the DBs afterward. Mike Jackson throws the ball back at him. Feisty!
