Will Smith's alleged shooter indicted in slaying

A grand jury has indicted Cardell Hayes, who allegedly shot and killed former New Orleans Saints player Will Smith on the charge of second-degree murder.

Hayes has also been indicted on the charge of attempted murder against Smith's wife, Racquel.

The indictments interrupted the preliminary hearing that is ongoing in a separate courtroom. The state and Hayes' attorneys are arguing whether testimony will continue in the preliminary hearing.
