CBSN
Former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy, 24, died in an apparent suicide in his car while being pursued by authorities in Houston, according to a report released Sunday by the Harrison County sheriff's office in Texas. Lacy already was facing criminal charges stemming from a fatal car accident in Louisiana last December that had clouded his NFL prospects.
The sheriff's office said there were first called out to a weapons disturbance by a relative saying Lacy had been involved in a verbal argument with her and that he had discharged a firearm into the ground. Responding officers learned that he had fled the scene in a vehicle and, about 20 minutes later, a "Constable's Office unit spotted Lacy and attempted to make a traffic stop on the vehicle. Lacy then fled and a vehicle pursuit took place spanning several miles," ending when his vehicle crashed.
The constables, "upon attempting to take Lacy into custody and remove him from the vehicle, discovered he had suffered what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound," the sheriff's office said in its report, adding that Lacy was pronounced dead at the scene.
