NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The killer of former Saints defensive end Will Smith shot him eight times in the back after deliberately ramming his Hummer into the NFL veteran's Mercedes SUV hard enough to shatter its back window, the Smith family's lawyer said Wednesday.

Looking more and more like a premeditated murder, rather a bit more than "road rage.".

He wasn’t killed by a white cop; he wasn’t committing a violent felony when he was killed.

So ...

His life is worth jack squat.

This killer will end up underneath Angola Prison for the rest of his days, hopefully.

My fathers uncle (my great-uncle Victor) was warden there in the 50s and 60s that man could tell stories that made your skin crawl.

Too busy protesting the justifiable death of a young thug who pulled a gun on a cop.

In Louisiana, they might have to keep the killer in solitary for life. There are Saints fans everywhere.

The BLM is in a stage of shock. They don’t know what to do because the Perp and Victim are both Black.

“Where is BLM?”

Trying to figure a way to break the murderer out of jail.

What I don't get is that Smith's wife stated that Smith was out of his vehicle and was shot 8 times in the back outside the vehicle. So how did he wind up in the driver's seat slumped over the wheel as police reported? Did he climb back into his vehicle? A bit odd.

And what about the bullet hole(s) in the windshield? Exit holes?

Sorry, but the failed culture dorks have taught us that black on black killings don’t matter.

Maybe Mrs. Smith pulled her wounded husband back into the car, to get him out of the line of fire. I, who have never been shot, can only imagine, that being hit even once in the back, would make the average person stand immobilized, let alone eight shots.

Is it me, or is everyone pooh-poohing completely the fact that the deceased player had dinner earlier that night with one of the cops who was a defendant in his father’s death?

That seems like one hell of a coincidence.

I’ve observed in accounts that shooting a large man with a 9mm gun may result in a lot of wounds, but a man still capable of a fight. (Not that the deceased man was going to fight)

Don’t know if it was a 9mm or not, haven’t delved that deeply into it.

“Maybe Mrs. Smith pulled her wounded husband back into the car, to get him out of the line of fire.”

If so, Mrs. Smith is one tough woman if she had bullet holes in both legs and was able to pick up her 290 pound husband and put him in the car.

First reports, especially those carried on the media, are often inaccurate.

If the statement is made on the media by a lawyer, the chances for inaccuracy go up exponentially.

Of course, mine were always the whole, complete and exclusive truth, designed only, solely and humbly, to assist in the public’s understanding of a complex, highly emotional and often sorrow-filled situation, to the complete exclusion of any other possible self-serving purpose. /s

That struck me initially, too, and I posted a comment saying it might have been premeditated murder. Now that it looks like Smith did not pull his (probably legally carried) pistol it appears even more that this was a premeditated murder, not road rage.

But video shows Smith's vehicle in a hit and run with the Hayes vehicle. That kind of throws cold water on your theory and makes it more into a road rage incident. Plus why would the cops release Hayes’ passenger at the scene if the cops thought it was some kind of orchestrated payback?

It just doesn’t jibe with the shooter then calling the cops. I think the family and the wife came up with a story, that on questioning, could create reasonable doubt
