Kyren Lacy was completely innocent of felony charges he was facing over recent fatal car crash, his attorney wrote in a gut-wrenching Facebook post following the NFL hopeful’s suicide.

‘I just know in my heart [fellow attorney Matthew Ory] and I was gone (sic) get you outta this situation, I knew you were innocent from day 1 because I was the first person you called while the traffic was being diverted around the wreckage,’ Lacy’s attorney John M. Allen III wrote on Facebook.

A former LSU wide receiver who was preparing for this week’s NFL Draft, Lacy took his own life in Houston earlier this month after crashing his vehicle as he attempted to flee police.

The 24-year-old was facing negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run and reckless operation of a vehicle charges following a December 17 crash that claimed the life of 78-year-old Herman Hall. Two days later, Lacy declared for the NFL Draft, only to become the subject of an arrest warrant in Louisiana for allegedly fleeing the scene of that accident.

But in his Facebook post, Allen insisted his client neither caused the crash nor fled the scene.

‘for you internet adult a**holes he never fled the scene nor caused the wreck he was actually 3-4 cars behind the wreck,’ Allen wrote.

Lacy’s case was set to be heard by a grand jury on April 14, less than 48 hours after he died from a self-inflicted gunsH๏τ wound.

‘K2 we just needed you to hang on for 30 more hours and this was coming off your back!!!’ added Allen, who appears to have known Lacy for years. ‘I love you. Until we meet again!!!’

Lacy led the Tigers with nine touchdowns last season and seemed ᴀssured of being picked in next week’s NFL Draft before a pair of crises and his tragic suicide.

He’d been criticized for declaring for the NFL Draft just two days after the fatal crash. But according to his other attorney, Ory, the standout receiver did not believe he was at fault in the collision, so he ‘continued with his daily activities.’

‘The collision that resulted in the death of Mr. Herman was not caused by Mr. Lacy’s actions,’ Ory wrote in a February statement. ‘The accident occurred directly in front of him when a second vehicle in the oncoming lane crossed the center line and collided with Mr. Herman’s vehicle.’

The next tragedy came on Saturday, April 12, when one of Lacy’s family members called Harris County (Texas) Sheriff’s Office. Lacy allegedly had an argument with a family and fired a gun into the ground.

He fled the scene, leading officers to search for the Louisiana native. But, when cops identified the car he was driving and attempted a traffic stop, Lacy allegedly led them on a miles-long car chase that ended with another crash, this one in Spring, Texas.

Lacy was found ᴅᴇᴀᴅ in the driver’s seat, the victim of a self-inflicted gunsH๏τ wound, according to police.

‘Man I don’t know where to start,’ Allen began his Facebook post. ‘I almost couldn’t bring myself to make this post. Kyren Lacy ever since I met you when you were 7 years old you lit the room up with that smile and charisma!’

Last week, Lacy’s agent, Rocky Arceneaux, had hit out at the NFL as he appeared to accuse the league of having a role in his client’s suicide.

‘To the NFL, shame on you for revoking Kyren’s Combine invitation without acknowledgement or consideration of the facts,’ Arceneaux’s statement read.

‘I urge you to re-evaluate your processes and provide athletes with the necessary due process before alienating them from their peers and dreams they’ve worked so hard for. Shame on the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office for being more concerned about public perception – and pressure to charge someone – than actually investigating the facts.

‘K2 – You should have had the chance to reach your dream of playing in the NFL, in just a week’s time. It hurts that the pressure, public perception, social media bullying – all without having the facts – were too much to bear. We hoped to see you flourish as an elite WR in the NFL, but God needed you on his team more. Your memory will never be forgotten, we will not let your death be in vain, and you will not be Mr. Irrelevant.’
