Will Smith, former star defensive end for the Saints, was shot and killed late Saturday night in the Lower Garden District of New Orleans, according to the Times-Picayune.
According to police, Smith was apparently shot by a man that had rear-ended his vehicle into another car. Police have the suspect in custody. A woman that was with Smith was also shot in the leg and taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Smith played his entire decade-long career for the Saints. He was selected in the first round, 18th overall in the 2004 draft out of Ohio St.
