Odell Beckham Jr., Angel Reese Mourn Kyren Lacy After Tragic Death
The sports world is in shock following the tragic death of Kyren Lacy, a former star LSU receiver. The news has left athletes like Odell Beckham Jr. and Angel Reese mourning the loss of a talented young player.
Lacy, who scored nine touchdowns last season, passed away on Saturday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police chase in Houston, TX.

Odell Beckham Jr., who also played at LSU, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, remembering Kyren in the Tigers locker room and urging everyone to “rest easy lil bro.” Angel Reese, a WNBA star, expressed her sadness over the tragic news and emphasized the importance of checking on the mental health of loved ones.
Other notable figures like Leonard Fournette, Russell Wilson, Jayden Daniels, Le’Veon Bell, Ja’Marr Chase, and Kyler Murray have also paid their respects on social media, offering prayers and condolences to Lacy’s family and the LSU community.
In a touching Instagram post, Leonard Fournette revealed that he had recently spoken to Kyren and expressed his shock and disbelief at the news of his passing. The outpouring of support and love for Kyren Lacy serves as a reminder to cherish our loved ones and hold them close, as tomorrow is never promised.
