A video was released of the scene following the death of former New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith. In the footage, Cardell Hayes – the man convicted of killing Smith – is seen explaining what happened at the scene of the crime.
The video – shot by an eyewitness and obtained by NOLA.com – shows Hayes and his friend, Kevin O’Neal, moments after Cardell shot the former NFL star. O’Neal, in the red shirt and Hayes, in the blue shirt, are both describing what happened.
The footage was shown to jurors during the trial. Hayes was found guilty on manslaughter and attempted manslaughter charges, the latter for shooting Smith’s wife, Raquel in the leg.
Hayes will be sentenced on February 17; he faces up to 60 years in prison.
