Retrial set to begin for man who fatally shot ex-Saints star after traffic collision

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A retrial was set to begin Monday for the man who fatally shot retired New Orleans Saints star Will Smith almost eight years ago.

Cardell Hayes, 36, has long insisted he shot Smith in self-defense during an April 2016 confrontation after a car crash. Smith died and his wife, Racquel Smith, was wounded by gunfire.
