Pierre Thomas, who had just been out with Will Smith, still in disbelief

NEW ORLEANS -- Pierre Thomas said the images from Saturday night’s shooting death of Will Smith will “never leave me” while expressing outrage and disbelief in his first public comments about the incident via social media Tuesday.

Police have not confirmed whether Thomas was a part of the three-car collision that preceded Smith’s shooting death in New Orleans’ lower Garden District or if he was a witness to the shooting.

But Thomas was with Smith at dinner that night just before the shooting, and he was photographed on the scene by NOLA.com shortly after the shooting.
