NEW ORLEANS (CNN) —The suspect in the shooting death of ex-NFL player Will Smith did not know who the victim was until the next day, according to a defense attorney.
Cardell Hayes has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of the former defensive end for the New Orleans Saints.
Smith was killed Saturday night after a night out with his wife and friends in New Orleans. He was shot eight times, including seven in the back, the coroner said.
Hayes' lawyer said his client did not know at the scene that Smith was the victim.
When he found out Sunday morning, he collapsed in the chair, attorney John Fuller said. Hayes was a fan of Smith, he said, and wanted to be like him.
"To be accused of murdering one of your idols is earth shattering," Fuller said.
Hayes shot Smith after a traffic collision and an exchange of words between the two, according to police.
Lawyer: Witness fears for her life
An unidentified witness is alleging she saw something "untoward" happen at the crime scene, according to Fuller. He said the witness arrived "seconds or minutes after the shooting." But he refused to go into details about what she saw, saying she fears for her life.
There may be a video of what happened just before the shooting, according to Fuller.
"We have reason to believe that a bystander recorded the events immediately prior to gunshots being fired, and that that footage was turned over to New Orleans police on the night that Mr. Smith died," Fuller said. "We want that video, because I know what it's going to show. And it's going to show that my client is legally not guilty."
Fuller said the case against his client "is the ultimate example of a person being prejudged."
Gamble said he couldn't confirm whether there was a video showing the moments before the shooting, but investigators have canvassed the area for surveillance video.
"We can't get into specifics," the police spokesman said. "We are still building an investigation."

I know this is a lot to ask of you dunderheads, but how about showing some patience and restraint and letting a full picture of that fateful evening emerge before you get knee-deep into debating whose a c00n for believing which side of the story, where Will Smith was standing, what music Cardell Hayes was listening to, what this all says about New Orleans and black people in general, and every other insane insinuation some of y'all have rushed to make without any details beyond a handful of articles and twitter innuendo? Outchea speculating on everything from grand conspiracies to legal technicalities. Good grief.

it's sad guns exist to the level at which they do.
Sensitive egos and guns don't mix.
But even saying that, the only solution seems to be more guns in order to have a chance at protecting yourself b/c u never know who you'll run into

Why is the father saying the wife was shot last when the lawyer is saying she was shot first? Huge contradiction.
