STREAM: Will Smith Shot, Killed in New Orleans Everything we know about Will Smith's senseless murder.

Former Saints player Will Smith was and is currently a trending topic on Twitter following news of his murder in New Orleans late last night, causing a lot of confusion for fans of the actor/rapper with the same name.

Sadly, this confusion also shed light on how insensitive people can be, even in the wake of tragedy. Here are a few of the incredibly ignorant and callous tweets from fans of the actor Will Smith, who were relieved to find out it was only our beloved football player who was lost last night.
