The deadly shooting took place on Saturday night after Will and Racquel left the French Quarter Fest. It was a day reserved just for the couple as the kids were not present during the fest and dinner that Raquel and Will enjoyed.

Such enjoyment was short lived when, upon leaving the restaurant and heading home, Raquel and Will were rear ended by a Hummer in the Lower Garden District. “At some point, the … driver of the Hummer and Smith exchanged words,” a police statement reveals. “The … male driver produced a handgun and shot Smith multiple times, the female victim was also shot to the leg.” Will Smith died at the scene while Racquel was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Many remember Will as powerhouse. One of his fellow ‘Saints’ players describe him as “a force on the football field, a team and locker room leader both on and off it as a defensive team captain.” The NFL star leaves behind two daughters, Wynter and Lisa, and a son named William.
