Memphis rapper Big Boogie, whose real name is John Lotts, is grieving the tragic loss of his sister, Laterrika Woods, who reportedly died in a high-speed police chase in Arkansas on March 26, 2025. The incident also left another woman, Taricaa Lashay, critically injured, with reports stating she lost an arm. While official statements are yet to be released, Big Boogie confirmed the heartbreaking news in a video, and the case has since gained widespread attention online.
According to reports circulating on social media, the chase involved a vehicle driven by an individual identified as Kizzle Consistent FlyGuy. Arkansas police allegedly rammed the SUV, causing it to overturn. Woods, who was a passenger, tragically lost her life at the scene, while Lashay suffered severe injuries. As of now, Arkansas State Police have not issued an official statement regarding the circumstances of the chase.
The situation has sparked controversy, with many questioning law enforcement tactics. Some reports suggest police may have used a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT maneuver) to stop the vehicle. Critics argue that such methods pose significant risks, especially to passengers who may not be involved in any wrongdoing. Woods’ death has reignited discussions about Arkansas’ policies on police pursuits.
Earlier this month, the Arkansas Advocate reported that state police engaged in 553 vehicle pursuits in 2024, resulting in six fatalities. Authorities had vowed to take a stricter approach against fleeing suspects, but the latest incident has led to renewed scrutiny over these high-risk chases.
Woods, remembered as a loving mother, has been mourned by many online. Supporters have expressed their condolences to Big Boogie, who is signed to Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group. Fans and fellow artists have taken to social media to demand transparency and accountability in the wake of this tragedy.
