Wow, this is horrible. My heart goes out to his family, and the Saints community.

 

Was just in NO all last week, it didn't feel that dangerous. But damn...

I met Will Smith a few times through my friend on the Saints. He seemed like a really nice guy. He was friendly and personable. Everyone seemed to like him.

I see the scumbag was a backyard breeder of Pit-mixes too. Good chance for fighting too.

 

I hope they lock him up for a long time.

widely held sentiment here as well. Universally admired and liked. He was a good person.

Tragic and senseless. RIP Will Smith,

Wasn't he also from Utica or Binghamton originally, too? I seem to recall that when he was a Buckeye.

And yet another example of what I like to call "big man with a gun" syndrome. SMDH....

He's from Utica, good chunk of my family went to high school with him...My cousin played ball with him too

 

Sad news to wake up to today. Beyond senseless...

Sad. Hope the scumbag shooter enjoys life in prison.

Sad.

Looks like the money for the hummer and tow company likely came from a lawsuit over NOPD killing his father. Sued for 4m and settled
