UPDATE:

Former Saint defensive end Will Smith had a fully loaded 9 mm handgun inside his Mercedes-Benz SUV when he was shot and killed Saturday night (April 9), New Orleans police said.

Investigators found no evidence to suggest the weapon was fired, police added.

A fully loaded revolver was also found inside the Hummer H2 driven by Cardell Hayes, the 28-year-old man arrested in connection with Smith's death. But shell casings and ballistic evidence recovered at the scene indicate that the revolver, like the handgun found in Smith's car, was not fired.

Shell casings recovered from the scene did match a .45-caliber handgun authorities believe Hayes used to kill Smith around 11:30 p.m. Saturday after a three-car vehicle crash at Sophie Wright Place and Felicity Street in the Lower Garden District.

The discovery of an additional two weapons comes three days after the shooting and under the increasingly bright spotlight of national media, who have flocked to New Orleans in the wake of Smith's death.

New Orleans police said they needed to obtain a search warrant first before they could look inside Smith's SUV and Hayes' Hummer. That warrant was executed Tuesday morning, police said. A search has yet to be completed on the Chevrolet Impala that Smith's SUV bumped into after first being hit by Hayes' Hummer. Two of Smith's friends, as yet unidentified, were inside the Impala at the time and were not injured, police said.

Two additional friends of Smith -- an unidentified man and woman -- were riding in the SUV with Smith and his wife, Racquel, at the time, police said. They were not injured. Racquel Smith, however, did receive "at least one gunshot wound to the right leg," police said.

Hayes is expected to be charged with either aggravated battery or attempted second-degree murder in connection with Racquel Smith's shooting, police said, but those charges had not been filed as of Tuesday afternoon.

Another man was riding in the car with Hayes at the time, police said, but was questioned and released without charges.

UPDATE:
Surveillance video shows hit-and-run before fatal Will Smith shooting:

Footage from witnesses:

Will Smith, the former Saints defensive end, was killed and his wife was wounded in a late-night shooting in New Orleans on Saturday (April 9), authorities said.

Orleans Parish Coroner Dr. Jeffrey Rouse confirmed Smith was the fatal victim in the incident. Police said Smith's wife was wounded and was taken to a hospital. The shooter is being questioned, police said.

The double shooting took place around 11:29 p.m., near the intersection of Sophie Wright Place and Felicity Street in the Lower Garden District, NOPD said.

Police said Smith, 34, and his wife, Racquel, were traveling eastbound on Sophie Wright Place when their Mercedes Benz SUV was rear-ended by a Hummer H2. The collision caused the Smith's vehicle to hit a Chevrolet Impala traveling along the same street.

Smith and the driver of the Hummer "exchanged words, at which time the driver of the Hummer produced a handgun and shot the male victim (Smith) multiple times and his 34-year-old wife twice in the right leg," said NOPD spokesman Juan Barnes.

Smith was pronounced dead at the scene. Racquel Smith was transported to a hospital, authorities said. Police said the 30-year-old driver of the Hummer is in custody and being interviewed by investigators. The gun used in the shooting has been recovered.

A witness at the scene, Janis Baehr, a tourist in town for the French Quarter Festival, said she was walking near the intersection and heard the crash and then six to eight gunshots. "It was a crash, boom, band," she said. She then saw a woman down on the pavement and went to her aid, giving her ice chips.

The witness said the woman appeared to have two gunshot wounds to her leg. "I kept her company until the paramedics came because she was screaming," Baehr said.

The woman was taken away by ambulance.

A man, who would only give his first name as Michael, said he was on the street and heard the crash, followed by gunshots. He said he took cover in nearby bushes with his dogs.

A woman, who lived near the scene, but declined to give her name, said she heard noises outside and saw a woman arguing with a man, but when she heard gunshots, she ran back inside of her house.

Smith was slumped over the steering wheel of his vehicle, which appeared to have a gunshot hole in the windshield.

New Orleans police and the coroner's office remained scene investigating. At around 2:45 a.m., Smith was removed from the scene in a coroner's van. A tow truck arrived to take his vehicle from the street.
