Are you treating this like Hayes peeled off with the intent to ram Smith's car and then murder the people in the car?

What matters is if hayes had a reasonable belief that he was in imminent danger of severe bodily harm or death, AND that he was not the aggressor.
That question is unanswerable based on the limited information we have right now.
Correct. And that answer might not be the same for every jury if it's a borderline situation.

interesting choice of words used. and that they wont disclose what they find in the vehicles. would a gun in the console be considered "not a visible weapon". and if it was in there the public wouldnt know about it until after this initial rush of public scrutiny?
This coupled with the reports that NOPD asked (I'm assuming) Juan's to not release the video of Smith hitting and running gives me pause.

Yeah that is pretty curious they are willing to release they didn't see a gun at the scene but don't want to say if they saw one after searching. Pretty selective of which side of evidence they are choosing to release.

EVERYBODY has an agenda
Including the 145 people here arguing about something they know nothing about

That was specifically ordered by Detective-Chief Inspector Brees

Lotta "white" knights in here.
I wonder what they'd do in confronted by a 6'6" AA male after dark in New Orleans that just said he wanted to fight.

Certainly wouldn't tell him I have a gun.

Former Saint defensive end Will Smith had a fully loaded 9 mm handgun inside his Mercedes-Benz SUV when he was shot and killed Saturday night (April 9), New Orleans police said.
The weapon was not fired, police added, nor was a fully loaded revolver found inside the Hummer H2 driven by Cardell Hayes, the man arrested in connection with Smith's death. Hayes was also found in possession of a 45-caliber handgun, which police believe was used to kill Smith

NOPD just released it
So now it will all come down to whether or not Smith reached for it, and if him reaching for it made him the aggressor.
It appears that Hayes may have been the aggressor initially, but that status may have shifted to Smith if he said "I have a gun" and then reached for it.

Not saying "I have a gun" get's me killed?
Man I should have died a long time ago.
