That's BS from what I understand the were both drafted by the Saints the same year and Smith was good friends with the man who shot and killed Hayes father in self defense. At the very least Hayes knew Smith. I think there was more to it than simply road rage

Nope, Hayes (28) was still a Louisiana high school prospect when Smith (34) was drafted in '04. This was just, "I got a gun"/"I'ma go get my gun" stuff that just escalates, #smh. IDK about the other stuff. The fact the shooter didn't leave the scene and willfully submitted to arrest tells me he probably felt threatened in some way by Smith, physically or verbally.

Never should of happened,

Everyone making judgements on guilt or innocence IMO are missing the point...tragedy for all parties involved regardless of legal outcome. — T-Bob Hebert (@TBob53) April 12, 2016

I agree 200%. I got the draft info from WWL. Just goes to show that even the media will jump to conclusions and get their facts mixed up. It's really doesn't matter anyway, a life was lost and two families will suffer.
