New Video Shows The Moments Before Ex-NFL Star Will Smith Was Fatally Shot

The dramatic video showing what happened the night football star Will Smith was shot dead has been released. The surveillance video, taken from a restaurant, shows what appears to be Smith's Mercedes SUV rear-ending a Hummer. The Hummer, driven by suspect Cardell Hayes, pulled over. But the Mercedes took off and the Hummer gave chase. Moments later, cops say the Hummer hit the Mercedes and angry words erupted which ended with Smith being shot dead. #InsideEdition

Something seems fishy about this case. I believe that there is more to the puzzle.

[amcfadden]

Wow if only he would have stopped. Hit and run can result in murder these days. smh.

[ge]

Why did Hayes purposely and unexpectedly stop in the middle of the street? Insurance fraud or did he actually plan on killing him.

[richardmb]

The hummer seemed to have stopped abruptly in the middle of the road. Anyone following behind would have hit it. whatever the reason, this was a senseless incident. really unnecessary violence and loss of life.

[WNDERWMANNN]

He stopped in front of Smith way too short. There was no street light or pedestrian in the way.

[NickErrrr]

Idk man seems like dude was drunk and was most likely being confrontational and it costed him his life…sometimes y’all gotta put pride aside

[jdazzle]

I was gone bite my tongue
But this was orchestrated hit.

I clearly see will smith's Mercedez fleeing the scene as fast as possible. Let's NOT paint this guy as a saint, just because he played for the Saints Team. Looks like played a large role in the confrontation that led to his own death.

If you watch in slow motion (0.25 ), then there seems no contact between cars. You should also consider the angle of camera. Hollywood-style perspective tricks must be well-known for now. Hummers frame is higher, so following car had more risk damaging his car. There is no sound. I saw a sudden break-work, that was potentially dangerous maneuver for followers. And Smith's so called escape not to engage with the obvious traffic moronity was smart move. But it seems that Hummer driver has a kind of inferiority complex. I consider that a murder.

Then years later, Russell Crowe stayed in the same house that Will had rented when Crowe was filming a movie about road rage.

[doctorwhodavid]

Who else thought it was the celebrity Will Smith?!

[superdude]

The big question is.... why did the Hummer stop? If there was a red or yellow traffic light ahead, Will Smith is to blame. If not, Cardell Jones is to blame.

[ncotignola]

Had it of happened two years later Cardell would be walking free as he should be. Dont want to die? Dont drink and drive.

[rileythran]

RIP Will Smith. I will pray for the Smith family.

[onestopshop]

Smith was drunk and had a fully loaded gun and did a hit & run 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Joliboi]

I am certain none of these two guys have ever taken a defensive driving class. I see this stuff all the time. Tailgating, road rage, speeding, running red lights a simple 6 hour class will help furthermore Black men have no love for each other today. Remember the Soul brothers in the 70s. RIP W S. Hayes peace and love to you.

[Tonz]

Why would he hit the car and drive off?

[TheBrightStar]

Why would he hit and run? He has money to pay the repairs no need for that

[victoraustin]

How can he claim self defense when he shot him 6 times?

[vinceg]

This was all planned out by hayess, why would he stop all of a sudden and right by a security camera. He did it on purpose just to kill him and pretend it was a hit and run.
