Big Boogie confirms sister Laterrika Woods died in Arkansas police chase

Memphis rapper Big Boogie, born John Lotts, is mourning the tragic loss of his sister, Laterrika Woods, who reportedly died during a high-speed police chase in Arkansas on or around March 26, 2025. The crash also left another woman, Taricaa Lashay, seriously injured—she reportedly lost an arm. While official details are still pending, widespread social media reports, including a confirmation video from Big Boogie himself, have drawn national attention.

According to circulating posts on X, the incident began when a vehicle driven by an individual identified as Kizzle Consistent FlyGuy was involved in a police pursuit. Reports allege Arkansas police rammed the SUV, causing it to flip. Woods, who was a passenger, died at the scene. Lashay, another occupant, suffered life-altering injuries. As of now, the Arkansas State Police have not released a formal statement about the chase.

The controversy intensified after users on X, including @KollegeKidd, alleged that police deliberately used a tactical maneuver—potentially the PIT (Precision Immobilization Technique)—to stop the vehicle. Critics argue these aggressive tactics carry high risks, especially for passengers uninvolved in criminal activity. Woods’ death has reignited debate around Arkansas’ pursuit policies.

Earlier this month, the Arkansas Advocate reported that police conducted 553 car chases in 2024, resulting in six fatalities. State officials had pledged a tougher stance on suspects fleeing law enforcement, but the latest incident is prompting renewed scrutiny.

Woods, remembered as a mother, has been mourned widely online, with many questioning the necessity and proportionality of the chase. The hip-hop community has rallied around Big Boogie, who is signed to Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group. Fans and followers have flooded social media with tributes, demanding accountability and transparency.
