Attempted murder charge against LSU RB Trey Holly rejected by grand jury
A grand jury decided on Friday to not charge LSU running back Trey Holly with attempted second-degree murder after he was arrested in connection with a February shooting in Union Parish, Louisiana.
Holly, a redshirt freshman, was charged by the grand jury with one felony count of illegal use of a weapon or dangerous instrumentality.
According to his attorney, Holly will plead not guilty.
"We look forward to trial before a fair and impartial jury in Union Parish after which I am confident that a verdict of not guilty will be returned," attorney Mike Small said in a press release.
Holly was suspended indefinitely by LSU and has not taken part in spring practice with the Tigers.
“I have been falsely identified, accused, and arrested,” Holly wrote in a Feb. 17 post on X. “I am 100% innocent and the people that know me know this is not my character at all. I was not involved in the incident at all.”

Holly played three games for the Tigers during the 2023 season, recording 110 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 attempts.
