Former New Orleans Saints defensive end and team captain Will Smith was shot and killed last night following a car accident in New Orleans' Lower Garden District.

Will Smith was fatally shot last night around 11:30pm following a car accident in the Lower Garden District near the intersection of Sophie Wright Place and Felicity Street last night.

His Mercedes Benz SUV was rear-ended by a Hummer H2, which then caused Smith's vehicle to hit a Chevrolet Impala in front of them. Smith and the driver of the Hummer got into an argument when the driver of the Hummer produced a handgun and shot him multiple times.
