 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 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. Hayes' attorney, John Fuller, said Monday that his client was involved in a hit-and-run before Smith's death. Add Interest

 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. 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. Hayes, 28, was arrested Sunday on a charge of second-degree murder and did not enter a plea during his initial court appearance Sunday.
– 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."
