LSU star Trey Holly will NOT be charged with attempted murder over Louisiana shooting which left two people injured... but RB still faces felony count of illegal use of a weapon

LSU running back Trey Holly will not be facing an attempted murder charge after it was rejected by a grand jury in Union Parish, Louisianna on Saturday.

The rising-sophomore turned himself in to the authorities in February after a shooting incident in Farmerville, LA led to two injuries. Holly's was one of the three arrests made concerning the shooting.

On Friday, The Advocate reported that he will be charged with one felony count of illegal use of a weapon or dangerous instrumentality while avoiding the murder charges. He also initially was 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 weapons charge.

'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,' Small said.

Holly, 19, wrote Feb. 17 in an Instagram post that he had committed no crimes and was home at the time of the incident. He said he turned himself in 'because I was notified 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 that know me know 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 5-foot-7, 192-pound Holly played in three games for LSU in 2023 and rushed 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 Oct. 21 debut against Army.
