Longtime New Orleans Saints standout Will Smith was shot and killed Saturday night when his car hit another vehicle in what police are calling a road rage incident, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Katherine Terrell.
The coroner's office has confirmed Smith's death.
The incident occurred at 11:29 p.m. central time on Saturday in the Lower Garden District of New Orleans. Smith was with his wife, Racquel, who was shot in the leg and wounded but not fatally. They were married in 2008 and had three children.
A senseless and tragic loss.
