Detroit Lions star Amik Robertson has shared details of his final conversation with Kyren Lacy following the latter’s d3ath.

Lacy, who was just 24, is reported to have taken his own life just days before a court appearance following negligent homicide charges.

The former LSU wideout was on a $150,000 bond, having been arrested for his involvement in a fatal hit-and-run incident that took place late last year. A grand jury was due to hear evidence in the case this Monday, with Lacy to be tried on charges of negligent homicide, hit-and-run driving with serious injury or d3ath, and reckless operation with accident.

It’s since been reported that Lacy fatally shot himself while being chased by police in Houston on Saturday night.

Robertson, a cornerback for the Lions, also played at LSU and, like Lacy, was from Thibodeaux, Louisiana. He took to social media to post multiple tributes after the devastating news.

“Take your rest lil bro,” he wrote as the caption to a post showing several photos of them together.

Robertson also shared a screenshot of a text exchange between them, which suggests he contacted the wide receiver around the time he was arrested.

“I need you to trust the process and put it in God’s hands,” he told his friend. “I know this is a tough time but my faith (is) high. I don’t know what happened cause I don’t want to get into that.

“But if you are in the wrong everyone makes mistakes. It’s all a learning process. Keep faith brodie… I’m always here, right or wrong.”

“All love brother,” Lacy sent in response.

The star CB sent another message to Lacy, encouraging him to stay strong amid the troubling circumstances.

“Promise me to keep yo head on bro that’s all I ask. Don’t get discouraged by nothing,” it read.

“I promise big bro!! We gone talk in person!” Lacy replied. “Go get dat ring!!”

Sadly, the two men won’t be having that conversation as Lacy fashioned his own demise over the weekend.

His father, Kenny Lacy, made a heart-wrenching statement on Sunday in which he lamented over losing his son as he urged other parents and family members to pay attention to the signs of potential suicide.

Kyren Lacy’s father has taken to social media to share a heartbreaking message following the untimely passing of his son.

Lacy, a former wide receiver for the LSU Tigers, was found dead in Houston this weekend and is believed to have taken his own life amid investigations into a deadly hit-and-run accident that took place late last year.

The 24-year-old had declared for the NFL Draft and was a projected first-round pick after leading LSU in touchdowns scored in 2024. But the incident in question had taken place two days prior, leaving what could have been a pro career in jeopardy.

A grand jury was scheduled to begin this Monday, and it’s thought that the wideout couldn’t bear the pressure or the guilt, which is why he opted to end his own life.

Kyren’s father, Kenny Lacy, shared a Facebook post in the wake of the tragic development, warning everyone else to be wary of troubling signs while bemoaning the loss of his son.

He wrote:

Young parents,start talking to your kids at a very early age and make sure they are confident and comfortable confiding in you. Don’t be cool with “I’m Alright,or I’m good” when you know deep down something isn’t right. Mental Health is real, and for the most part, it’s invisible, don’t ignore the signs, even if they may seem small.

Our lives have changed forever and this will never be ok, but God needed my baby more than he was needed here. This has to be the biggest pill our families have had to swallow but I know the love and compassion in our families will get us through. This will never get easier, but we’ll learn to live with it.

Check on your kids mental!!!!!!!!!!!

Lacy was bound for the NFL Draft after registering 866 receiving yards and nine scores for the Tigers last season but was involved in an accident that resulted in the d3ath of a 78-year-old man. Two other people were reportedly injured in the crash.

He fled the scene of the December 17 collision, only turning himself in to police in January.

The WR was charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with d3ath, and reckless operation of a vehicle.
