New Orleans (CNN) When police first described the slaying of former New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith, their account of what unfolded was simple. There was a vehicle crash, police said, followed by a heated exchange and a deadly shooting after the suspect brandished a gun. But the story of exactly what happened on the streets of New Orleans on Saturday night is getting more complicated. The latest clues in the high-profile case: Surveillance footage showing an apparent hit-and-run crash and the discovery of loaded weapons inside vehicles days after police towed them away from the scene. Footage revealed by CNN affiliate WVUE and another surveillance video obtained by CNN show a Mercedes SUV trailing a Hummer, until the latter vehicle stops abruptly. The Mercedes pulls up quickly, too, possibly hitting it from behind. Both vehicles are a standstill briefly, until the Hummer starts to pull over; the Mercedes, though, goes around and drives off.Police say they founded a loaded gun in Smith's vehicle and another weapon inside the suspect's HummerCardell Hayes is charged in Smith's killing; lawyer says Hayes' actions show he's not "an animal ... looking for blood"Surveillance video shows a Hummer stopping abruptly, possibly being hit by a Mercedes, on a New Orleans street
