Cuts to USAID Spark Concerns Over Mpox Crisis in Africa

Kyren Lacy, a former Louisiana State University (LSU) football player, has been arrested on charges of negligent homicide, reckless operation of a vehicle, and felony hit-and-run following a deadly car accident last month. Lacy was taken into custody on January 12, two days after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
According to official police reports, Lacy was allegedly speeding and driving recklessly in a Dodge Charger when he crossed into the opposite lane in a no-passing zone. This dangerous maneuver forced another driver, identified as 78-year-old Herman Hall, to swerve and subsequently crash head-on with another vehicle. Hall was hospitalized for his injuries but later succumbed, leading to Lacy's charges.
Authorities state that Lacy fled the crash scene without stopping to provide assistance or notify emergency services. His agent, Rocky Arceneaux, has expressed that Lacy is fully cooperating with the investigation, emphasizing confidence that the truth will come out.
Lacy had declared for the 2025 NFL Draft on December 19, shortly after the incident. After posting a bond of $151,000, he was released from jail.
