 Surveillance video from a New Orleans restaurant appears to show a hit-and-run incident between two vehicles matching the descriptions of those driven by former Saints player Will Smith and Cardell Hayes minutes before Smith was shot and killed on Saturday. 
 
 The video, which was broadcast Tuesday by ABC's "Good Morning America," appears to show a Mercedes SUV bump the rear of a Hummer near the intersection of Magazine Street and St. Andrew Street, approximately two blocks from where Hayes is accused of shooting and killing Smith around 11:30 p.m. ET.

 Smith drove a Mercedes G63 SUV on Saturday night, while Hayes drove a Hummer H2, New Orleans police said. 
 
 The surveillance video appears to show the Mercedes bump the Hummer at 11:21 p.m. As the Hummer begins to pull over to the side of the road, the Mercedes veers into the opposite lane before driving away. The Hummer immediately pursues the Mercedes onto Sophie Wright Place; according to New Orleans police, Smith was shot two blocks away near the intersection of Sophie Wright Place and Felicity Street, which is a five-point intersection. 
 
 New Orleans Police superintendent Michael Harrison said Sunday that investigators would try to obtain surveillance video. Police have not yet confirmed that they received the video posted Tuesday, nor have they commented on the authenticity of the video. 
 
 Hayes' attorney, John Fuller, said Monday that his client was involved in a hit-and-run before Smith's death. 
 
 "Someone hit him," Fuller said. "The person failed to pull over. My client trailed behind this person in an effort to get their license plate number. My client also called 911."

 Police said Smith, 34, was shot after a verbal exchange with Hayes, who allegedly rear-ended the Mercedes and caused it to strike another vehicle containing acquaintances of Smith's. Smith was pronounced dead at the scene, and his wife, Racquel, was shot once in the right leg. 
 
 "While he's on the phone with 911, that's when the three-car accident occurs," Fuller said. "So he doesn't actually talk to a 911 operator. But we're hoping that the incident was recorded after 911 picked up." 
 
 Hayes, 28, was arrested Sunday on a charge of second-degree murder and did not enter a plea during his initial court appearance Sunday. His bond was set at $1 million. Police said that the handgun used in the shooting has been recovered. 
 
 The preliminary hearing for Hayes has been scheduled for April 28, Hayes' attorney John Fuller confirmed. 
 
 Fuller has suggested that a possible second gun on the scene could help exonerate Hayes. Fuller did not say who he believed had the second gun or whether he thought it had been fired. He also declined to say whether his client plans to claim self-defense. But he insisted Hayes felt threatened, and filed a motion in court to preserve all ballistic evidence. 
 
 "It would be safe to say that not only did my client feel threatened, but citizens that were out there on that block felt threatened as well," Fuller said Monday. "And I think the uncovering or unearthing of a second gun will lend itself to the defense of Mr. Hayes. 
 
 "Once everything becomes apparent, you'll see why I'm saying that my client, legally speaking, is not guilty of second-degree murder." 
 
 New Orleans Police Department spokesman Tyler Gamble said all of the shell casings found on the scene matched the one gun that was initially confiscated and that was believed to have been fired by Hayes. 
 
 The Saints announced Tuesday that visitation for Smith will be held Friday at the team's indoor practice facility. 
 
 ESPN Saints reporter Mike Triplett contributed to this report. ||||| Hours after police arrested and charged Cardell Hayes with second degree murder, his attorney insisted there was more to the story. He says before the shooting, his client was a victim of a hit-and-run involving his hummer. 
 
 Now, new video is raising questions about events leading up to the apparent road-rage killing of former Saints player Will Smith. A surveillance video obtained by New Orleans' Fox 8 appears to show a Hummer at a red light, followed by a Mercedes SUV, reports CBS News correspondent Manuel Bojorquez. 
 
 "CBS This Morning" has not been able to independently confirm the tape, but the vehicles seem to match the make of the Hummer driven by Hayes and Mercedes driven by Smith the night of Saturday's deadly shooting. 
 
 More surveillance video shows the Hummer come to a quick stop, and the Mercedes appears to possibly tap the vehicle from behind. 
 
 Moments later, the Hummer pulls to the side of the road and the driver of the SUV speeds away. The Hummer then follows. 
 
 "This was not some situation where my client hunted down Mr. Smith," said Hayes's attorney, John Fuller. 
 
 It's still unclear exactly what led up to the deadly confrontation. 
 
 Police say Cardell Hayes's Hummer rear-ended Smith's Mercedes, which then collided with another vehicle, a Chevy Impala. The two men exchanged words and as Smith walked away, he was shot multiple times in the back and right torso. Smith's body was found slumped over the steering wheel with his foot on the ground. 
 
 At some point, Smith's wife had gotten out of the car and was somewhere near the driver's side, when she was struck twice in the leg. Cell-phone video from that night captured Smith's wife crying out. 
 
 "I need an ambulance. My leg has been shot!" she cried. 
 
 An unknown witness is also heard talking about another gun, though he didn't mention anyone by name. 
 
 "I guess this guy was like, 'Get out of here or I have a gun' And he goes, 'F*** y'all, I've got one too.' And he grabs the gun and then he shoots him in the back - dead," the witness said. 
 
 Fuller has suggested there was a second gun at the scene, though he didn't say whether the weapon was in Smith's car. 
 
 "It'd be safe to say that not only did my client feel threatened but citizens who were out on that block felt threatened as well," Fuller said. 
 
 New Orleans police say they're planning on filing a second charge against Hayes for allegedly shooting Smith's wife. 
 
 On Wednesday, a traditional brass-band parade will be held near the shooting scene in honor of Smith, with the Saints planning their own tribute on Friday. ||||| New surveillance video obtained by ABC News appears to show the moment that led to the deadly shooting of former NFL star Will Smith in New Orleans.

 In the video, provided to ABC News by a restaurant two blocks from the scene of the shooting, a Hummer resembling the police's description of the alleged shooter's car appears to stop suddenly, seemingly bumped by a car that matches the description of Smith's Mercedes SUV. 
 
 Then, as the Hummer appears to pull over, the SUV speeds off. Seconds later, the Hummer takes off, apparently following the SUV. 
 
 Police have not confirmed the video, according to the New Orleans Police Department. 
 
 "This is an ongoing criminal investigation and we don't have anything further to provide at this time," police spokesman Tyler Gamble told ABC News this morning.

 Police have said the deadly shooting began when Smith, a former New Orleans Saints star, 34, was rear-ended while driving in the Lower Garden District Saturday night, causing him to hit a vehicle in front of him. The driver of the vehicle that hit Smith, identified by police as Cardell Hayes, then "exchanged words" with Smith, authorities said. 
 
 Hayes, 28, then drew a handgun and shot Smith several times, police said. 
 
 Hayes stayed at the scene, police said, and was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. 
 
 On Sunday, a judge set bond for Hayes at $1 million. He did not enter a plea. 
 
 John Fuller, Hayes' attorney, said Monday that Hayes felt threatened and plans to plead not guilty. He also said that Hayes did not know the victim. 
 
 Smith's wife, Racquel Smith, was also shot during the incident. Police said her injuries were not life-threatening. ||||| (CNN) Will Smith and his wife, Racquel, were "having a blast" at a city festival mere hours before they were both shot, leaving the former New Orleans Saints defensive end dead and his wife hospitalized. 
 
 New Orleans Police Department spokesman Tyler Gamble was reluctant to use the term "road rage," but a police statement says Smith and the driver of a Hummer SUV "exchanged words" before the Hummer's driver shot Smith multiple times and shot Smith's wife in the right leg. 
 
 Former New Orleans police officer Billy Ceravolo, who was at dinner with Will and Racquel Smith before the shooting, told CNN over the phone that Racquel Smith was on the mend, but he declined to answer further questions. 
 
 "She is out of surgery and doing well, and that's the highlight of today," he said. 
 
 The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office booked Cardell Hayes, 28, on second-degree murder charges early Sunday, Gamble said. Bond was set at $1 million, according to jail records. 
 
 Cardell Hayes is charged with second-degree murder, police say. 
 
 "I don't have any information indicating they knew each other at this time," Gamble told CNN in an email, noting that the investigation was ongoing. New Orleans Police Superintendent Michael Harrison said during a Sunday afternoon news conference that police are still investigating whether Hayes and Smith knew each other. 
 
 One matter that has become part of the probe, Harrison said, is whether a decade-old lawsuit that Hayes filed against the city after police fatally shot his father has anything to do with Saturday's shooting. Ceravolo is named in the lawsuit. 
 
 A dinner, then a deadly shooting 
 
 Details are still emerging about the moments leading up to the deadly shooting. 
 
 Earlier Saturday, Smith posted a selfie of him and his wife. The caption said the pair were having fun Saturday night at the French Quarter Fest, an annual event in the famed New Orleans district.

 Shortly after the Instagram post, the couple had dinner at Sake Café. Ceravolo, former Saints teammate Pierre Thomas and a sports agent joined them, restaurant General Manager Dave Matherne said. 
 
 "You could hear them laughing at the table," Matherne said. "It seemed they were having a really good time." 
 
 Just before the restaurant closed, around 11:15 p.m., the Smiths left in a Mercedes G63 SUV. 
 
 They were following two acquaintances in a gray Chevrolet Impala, police said in a statement. 
 
 It took only 10 blocks for the situation to turn dramatically. 
 
 As the vehicles approached a five-point intersection in the city's Lower Garden District neighborhood, Hayes was driving behind them in an orange Hummer H2, police said. 
 
 Hayes rear-ended the Mercedes, causing Smith's SUV to hit the Impala, according to police. 
 
 "At some point, the ... driver of the Hummer and Smith exchanged words," the police statement said. "The ... male driver produced a handgun and shot Smith multiple times, the female victim was also shot to the leg." 
 
 Wounded wife's cry: 'Where's my husband?' 
 
 Janis Baehr says she was inside a nearby bed-and-breakfast when she heard the vehicle crash, a heated dispute and at least five shots fired. 
 
 The Florida resident, who was in town to celebrate a friend's birthday at the festival, told CNN she went outside after she heard a woman shout, "Please, God, somebody, please help me!" 
 
 "(Racquel Smith) was screaming, lying there on the sidewalk," Baehr said. "I got there on the ground with her." 
 
 They prayed together, she said, before paramedics rushed Racquel Smith to the hospital with gunshot wounds in her leg. According to Baehr, Racquel Smith cried out, "Where's my husband? Where's my husband?" 
 
 When police reached the scene at about 11:29 p.m., Will Smith was "in the middle of the street partially inside of his vehicle suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the body. He died at the scene," police said. 
 
 And Hayes was still there. 
 
 Investigators recovered the weapon they believe he used, and it had no record, Harrison said. Hayes also had a male passenger in the car with him. He was not identified, and Harrison said he had no information suggesting the passenger was involved in the shooting. 
 
 Detectives transported Hayes to the homicide office for questioning before taking him to Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office Central Lockup and booking him on a murder charge, police said. 
 
 A photographer for the The Times-Picayune in New Orleans posted a picture of Thomas, Smith's former teammate who dined with him Saturday night, standing at the scene of the shooting and looking distraught.

 Abutting the Mississippi River, the Lower Garden District neighborhood is known for its historic homes , some of which date back to the early 19th century. Lee Circle, a popular gathering spot during the city's Mardi Gras celebration, sits on the neighborhood's edge. 
 
 It's a relatively low-crime area, especially when compared with Central City to its west and the Central Business District and French Quarter to its north. Of more than 500 crimes reported in New Orleans in the last week, only a handful occurred in the Lower Garden District, most of them thefts, though there was an assault reported Friday, according to the city's crime map 
 
 'A force on the field' 
 
 Smith was a 34-year-old father of three who had reached the pinnacles of success at football's college and pro levels. Born in Queens and reared in Utica, New York, Smith attended Ohio State University, where he won a national championship in 2002. 
 
 The 18th pick in the 2004 NFL draft, he went on to play his entire career, 10 seasons, with the Saints. He was part of the 2010 squad that beat the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. 
 
 He suffered a knee injury during the 2013 preseason, and the Saints released him in 2014. New England signed him, but he never took the field for the Patriots, who released him later that year. 
 
 The Saints released a statement calling the 2006 Pro Bowler "a force on the football field, a team and locker room leader both on and off it as a defensive team captain." He ranks fourth among the Saints' all-time sack leaders and is considered one of the franchise's great defensive players. 
 
 Smith played 139 games for the Saints, starting in 120, and racked up 618 tackles, 67.5 sacks, 19 forced fumbles and seven recovered fumbles. 
 
 "We are devastated and saddened by Will's tragic and preventable death due to a senseless act that will leave a lasting scar on our community forever. Will was more than an exceptional football player he was a father, a husband, a son, a brother and teammate to so many and an inspiration to countless more," Saints owners Tom Benson and his wife, Gayle, said in a statement. 
 
 Players and coaches from throughout Smith's career took to social media to express their condolences. 
 
 Charitable activities 
 
 The Saints statement notes that Smith and his wife were generous with their time and quick to participate in various initiatives. 
 
 He also played a big role in Kingsley House , as well as Bridge House and Grace House , and according to the Saints, he had been hosting an annual Smith Family Christmas event for Kingsley House families since 2012. The event, which was often held at the Saints practice facility, included a holiday meal, Christmas gifts from Santa Claus and a tour of the facility. 
 
 The Smiths hosted a celebrity waiter event for Bridge House and Grace House, which teach people who have become dependent on drugs or alcohol how to live sober and productively, the team said. Smith persuaded his teammates to serve as waiters for the event, even after he retired from football. 
 
 In addition, Smith sponsored a Utica event called "Evening With All-Stars," which honors the region's high school football stars.

 He wrote on his personal website that he wanted to be an FBI agent following his football career. 
 
 A life not without controversy 
 
 Despite the raft of accolades on and off the field, Smith did have blemishes on both his personal and professional record. 
 
 In 2011, the NFL announced it was suspending Smith for two games without pay for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. One of four players to test positive for the banned diuretic, StarCaps, in 2008, Smith was also fined an additional two game checks, according to the league 
 
 The suspension was later lifted. According to the NFL's allegations, the Saints paid bonuses for targeting and injuring opposing teams' players between 2009 and 2011. The following year, he was suspended for four games after he and three other Saints were implicated in the franchise's "bountygate" scandal The suspension was later lifted. According to the NFL's allegations, the Saints paid bonuses for targeting and injuring opposing teams' players between 2009 and 2011. 
 
 Off the field, Smith was arrested in 2010 and charged with public intoxication and domestic abuse battery after he allegedly dragged his wife by her hair outside a Lafayette, Louisiana, nightclub, according to The Times-Picayune . He and his wife both said it was a misunderstanding, the newspaper reported, and the charges were dropped after he completed community service and counseling requirements. 
 
 Will and Racquel Smith were married in 2008, the same year Smith reportedly signed a $70 million contract extension with the Saints. Their three children are William, Lisa Mya and Wynter Chase.
– A man has been charged with murder in the road rage shooting death of former New Orleans Saints player Will Smith, but surveillance video from shortly before the shooting raises questions about what actually started the incident. Police say Cardell Hayes' Hummer rear-ended Smith's Mercedes SUV (which in turn rear-ended a third car), sparking an argument between the two men that ended with Hayes shooting Smith and Smith's wife, CBS News reports. But new video obtained by Fox 8 New Orleans and also aired by ABC News appears to show Smith's SUV rear-ending Hayes' Hummer after Hayes came to a sudden stop less than two blocks away from the eventual shooting scene. The video then shows the Hummer pulling over, the SUV driving away from the scene, and the Hummer following. "Prior to the actions that led to Mr. Smith's death, my client was involved in a hit-and-run. Someone hit him, the person failed to pull over, my client trailed behind this person in an effort to get their license plate number. My client also called 911. While he was on the phone with 911, that's when the three-car accident occurs," Hayes' lawyer says. Per ESPN, the attorney has been suggesting there was a second gun at the New Orleans scene Saturday night, and that its existence will help exonerate his client, though he's been vague about where that gun was or who might have been wielding it. "Everybody out there felt threatened," he says, per ABC, "by someone other than Mr. Hayes."
