NEW VIDEO Shows Hit & Run That Led to Murder of NFL Star Will Smith

A hit-and-run may have sparked a deadly road rage shooting that killed retired
Saints player Will Smith during a night on the town in New Orleans.
Surveillance footage obtained by WVUE-TV captures what appears to be the former defensive end’s SUV bumping into a Hummer at 11:21 p.m. — eight minutes before
the assault.

Smith and his wife Racquel Joseph Smith had just left a Garden District restaurant 
in a Mercedes Benz before the fatal confrontation. Suspected shooter Cardell Hayes, seen below, was driving a Hummer H2 at the time of Saturday’s shooting, police said.
 After the minor fender-bender, the Hummer’s driver pulled over expecting the 
other driver to do the same, but instead, the video shows the driver speeding away 
and the Hummer following in pursuit.



The video bears similarity to a narrative described by defense attorney Jay Fuller
on Monday, when he said Hayes called 911 while chasing another vehicle after a hit-and-run. Fuller argued Hayes was not the aggressor in the weekend shooting.
If Fuller’s statement is to be believed, the Hummer caught up to Smith’s SUV and smashed into it from behind. The impact sent Smith’s vehicle careening into a third vehicle, according to New Orleans police. An exchange of words followed the collision before gunfire erupted. Smith died of multiple gunshots as he stepped out of the
vehicle. Gunshots allegedly fired by Hayes also struck Smith’s wife twice in the leg.
Fuller believes there may have been a second firearm involved with the confrontation.
Hayes faces second-degree murder in Smith’s death.
Hayes’ co-defense Jay Daniels believes the newly released video “speaks for itself,” he told the Advocate.
