Former New Orleans Saints player Will Smith was shot and killed Saturday in what appeared to be a road rage incident that has shocked fans of the much-loved athlete.

Coroner Jeffrey C. Rouse said in an emailed statement that Smith died of "multiple gunshot wounds" after a traffic accident in the city's Lower Garden District. The former defensive end was 34 years old.

Cardell Hayes, 28, was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder in Smith's death, New Orleans Police Department spokesman Tyler Gamble said Sunday. Police said Hayes was the driver of a Humvee H2 that rear-ended Smith's Mercedes G63 about 11:30 p.m. Saturday. A passenger in Hayes' vehicle was questioned and released, he said.

Gamble said the investigation was continuing. Online court records show Hayes pleaded guilty in 2014 to one count each of possessing an illegal weapon and possessing drug paraphernalia.

He’ll get off. Too easy to plead Stand Your Ground at 2AM, especially in New Orleans.

Does Louisiana have a “stand your ground” law?

Don’t know but self defense is easy. Just where does this dirt bag get the money for a HumVee?

I guess black lives don’t matter if they have made some success of themselves. Only low-life black lives matter.

Well, likely, it starts with D and ends with RUGS.

And I’ll bet from the 2014 conviction on weapons & paraphernalia charges, the dirtbag is a drug dealer, a pimp, or both.

The Saints front office executive said “We must do something concrete.”

I agree, so I have purchased a truckload of condoms. It’s up to the Saints’ exec to distribute them in the dodgy neighborhoods.

So a Black drug dealer in a Hummer gets into a traffic altercation with a Black football type driving a high end Mercedes SUV. Everyone was probably disrespecting everyone else, with the logical outcome.

Hmm - likely drug-dealing Hummer H2 driver rear-ends a big Mercedes SUV. Sounds like he was trying to scare off a territorial rival.

If you're in certain types of vehicles in certain New Orleans neighborhoods, assumptions come into play. Well-founded assumptions, at that.

I predict the shooter was in fear of his life and will walk easy.

Just another one of those “non-violent” drug offenders the Evil One wants to impose on us. And, BTW, Smith’s was a black life that didn’t matter to BLM and the Evil One because he was a decent, law abiding black man who did a lot of good for the whole community. The only lives that matter to BLM and the Evil One are black criminals’ lives.
