Kyren Lacy passed away by suicide on April 12, 2025, in Houston, Texas. His death occurred during a police pursuit after a reported altercation with a family member, during which he discharged a firearm into the ground. When law enforcement attempted to take him into custody following the crash of his vehicle during the chase, he was found to have died from an apparent self- inflicted gunshot wound. Lacy was 24 years old at the time of his death.
His death came amid legal troubles stemming from a fatal car accident in Louisiana in December 2024, for which he was facing criminal charges including negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless operation of a vehicle. New evidence later emerged suggesting that he was nearly 100 yards behind the crash scene, raising controversy and claims that he may have been wrongly blamed for the accident. Lacy died one day before a scheduled grand jury hearing in that case.
In summary, Kyren Lacy passed away by suicide during a police chase, against the backdrop of serious legal challenges related to a fatal car accident.
