Former Saints defensive end Will Smith was shot and killed late Saturday night in New Orleans. Smith was 34 years old.
Smith and his wife Racquel were reportedly involved in a minor car accident, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, which ultimately led to the shooting. Smith's wife was also shot twice and was rushed to a local hospital.
A witness to the shooting claims as many as eight gunshots were fired, according to the Times-Picayune.
A former first-round draft pick in 2004, Smith played his entire nine-year NFL career for the Saints and was a starter for the 2009 Super Bowl team.
