Police find loaded gun in Will Smith's vehicle during investigation

Police found a loaded gun in the vehicle belonging to Will Smith while investigating the former Saints star's killing on Saturday, the New Orleans Police Department announced.

While executing a search warrant on Smith's Mercedes G63 on Tuesday, detectives recovered a fully-loaded 9 millimeter handgun inside the vehicle. In addition, police also found a fully-loaded revolver in the vehicle belonging to shooting suspect Cardell Hayes, who has been charged with second-degree murder. Initial ballistic tests on the weapons, however, revealed neither gun had been fired, police said. A .45 caliber handgun recovered by detectives Saturday was used in the shooting, police stated.
