Ohio State fans today are mourning the loss of former Buckeye Will Smith, who was killed late Saturday night in New Orleans’ Lower Garden District.
ESPN’s Saints writer Mike Triplett has the story about Smith’s passing:
Smith was shot to death in New Orleans’ Lower Garden District on Saturday night following a traffic collision, the coroner’s office confirmed.
Smith, 34, was shot after exchanging words with the driver of a Hummer H2 that rear-ended his Mercedes G63 SUV, causing him to strike another vehicle, police said.
Smith was shot multiple times, and his wife, Racquel, also 34, was shot twice in the right leg, according to police.
