According to a report from the New Orleans Times-Picayune, former Ohio State standout Will Smith was the victim of a fatal shooting in the Big Easy late Saturday night. Smith's wife was wounded but is expected to survive her injuries. Smith was 34.
New Orleans based journalist Lyons Yellin reported that a police source told him Smith was involved in a three car crash and a subsequent altercation that culminated in the shooting. Two men have reportedly been apprehended in connection with the incident.
