New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton called for more gun control and railed against a growing violence problem in the city in a passionate interview with USA Today. They reportedly left the restaurant around 11:15 p.m., according to restaurant general manager Dave Matherne. So she could be during this devastating time, the reality star got flight.
Ceravolo was among a group of officers named in a 2006 lawsuit Hayes filed over his father’s death. But they’re still investigating. And I don’t know how we control that. The Hummer is seen stopping abruptly and being hit from behind by the Mercedes. Others in their group are in a gray Chevrolet Impala.
Hayes who faces charges for second-degree murder in Smith’s death, according to the New Orleans Police Department, will soon face another charge for the shooting of Raquel.
For starters, it appears Smith’s and his shooter’s cars were stopped at a red light across the street from where the two vehicles initially crashed.
Eyewitness News Legal Analyst Donald “Chick” Foret said Fuller described Hayes as a family man and involved in the community to a judge in court.
“My client was hit”. He said Hayes called 911 after he was hit and convinced a witness who was about to leave to remain and talk to police.
New Orleans Police superintendent Michael Harrison said Sunday that investigators would try to obtain surveillance video. What vehicles were involved?
That’s when police said Hayes approached Smith and had a verbal altercation. The Hummer takes off after the SUV.
“And I’m thinking to myself, ‘Whoa, what do you guys want from me?’ I’m only here to speak the truth. My leg has been shot!”
One of Hayes attorneys, Jay Daniels, told The Advocate that the video backs up the version of events his client has given him, calling it “consistent with the information that we have”. So far police have not uncovered a weapon in Smith’s vehicle. “Complainant states that there’s a male down with about six gunshot wounds to the chest”.
Smith died at the scene. Hayes won an undisclosed settlement following the 2005 incident.
Police radio that the suspect is in custody.
“I think it was one of those situations where he was really at the wrong place at the wrong time, and he bumped into the wrong person”, Mathieu said.
Smith was gunned down in an apparent road rage incident after a auto crash in New Orleans on Saturday (09Apr16), when Racquel was also shot in the leg.
Police also said Tuesday that they were reviewing surveillance videos from the neighborhood.
