LSU Tigers' Flau'jae Johnson paid tribute to Kyren Lacy, the program's wide receiver who passed away on Saturday. During Johnson's off-season tour stop in Boston, the hooper/singer requested fans to put up their fingers to honor Lacy's jersey #2. She also urged the fans to practice a minute of silence in his honor.
"Kyren Lacy, let's have a moment of silence for Kyren Lacy man, a moment of silence man. He was an LSU football player, he died ... Rest in Peace man, Rest in Peace ... put your twos up for Kyren, put your twos up for Kyren," she said before walking off the stage.
According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the wide receiver was found dead in his automobile after a brief pursuit due to a reported altercation with a family member. He had reportedly pulled out a gun and shot it towards the ground while arguing with a relative. He was chased briefly by the authorities after he attempted to make a traffic stop.
Kyren Lacy, a 24-year-old prospect for the NFL draft, passed away less than two weeks ago before his next football chapter could have begun. Known for his intensity and leadership qualities, Lacy garnered 58 catches for 866 receiving yards last season.
His death comes a day after he was aligned to face a grand jury for the charges of negligent homicide, reckless operation of a vehicle and felony hit-and-run behind a crash on Dec. 17, killing a 78-year-old man and injuring two and allegedly fleeing the scene.
