LSU running back Trey Holly will not face an attempted murder charge after it was dismissed by a grand jury in Union Parish, Louisianna on Saturday.
The rising sophomore turned himself in to authorities in February after a shooting incident in Farmerville, LA led to two injuries. Holly’s was one of three arrests in connection with the shooting.
On Friday, The Advocate reported that he will be charged with one felony count of illegal use of a weapon or dangerous instrument while evading murder charges. He was also initially charged with aggravated criminal damage to property.
LSU suspended Holly indefinitely from all team activities and has not updated his status.
Holly’s attorney, Mike Small, said in a news release Friday that Holly will plead not guilty to the gun charge.

“We look forward to the trial before a fair and impartial jury in Union Parish, after which I am confident that a not guilty verdict will result,” Small said.
Holly, 19, wrote in an Instagram post on February 17 that he had not committed any crimes and was home at the time of the incident. He said he turned himself in “because I had been made aware of an arrest warrant and I wanted to fully cooperate.”
“I have been falsely identified, accused and arrested,” he wrote. ‘I am 100% innocent and the people who know me know that this is not my character at all. I was not involved in the incident at all.’
Holly was a four-star recruit in the Tigers’ 2023 recruiting class out of Union Parish High School, where he broke the state’s all-time rushing record with 10,523 yards and scored 160 touchdowns.
The 6-foot-1, 192-pound Holly played in three games for LSU in 2023, rushing 11 times for 110 yards and a touchdown. He was named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week after running for 91 yards — including a 67-yard touchdown — in his debut Oct. 21 against Army.
