Broncos right cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed this morning. After leaving a nightclub in a limousine, Williams was shot and killed near 11th and Grant in Denver. The team confirmed the death of Williams. A female passenger also was shot, according to a source familiar with Williams.

Williams was 24.

"I learned from the Denver Police Deprtment that this incident has occured," Williams' agent, Jeff Griffin said early Monday morning. "No other details have been released. I sincerely offer my condolences and feelings to his family."

Williams was the Broncos' starting right cornerback and played his final game for the team in a 26-23 overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers that eliminated Denver from the playoffs on New Year's Eve.

My guess would be he bumped a guy by accident in the bar (or more correctly, a guy bumped him) and then got in his face (NFL CBs would have no fear and not back down to anyone). He was with a woman which made the hypothetical confrontation more intense for his honor. The guy followed him out to the car and shot him.

That would not surprise me. Amazing how people worship these modern day gladiators.

The Tupac method. Crappy way to take someone out. Cowardly.

Yep. Guns and Rap are slowly creeping from Basketball to Football. Basketball is a lost cause IMHO. I hope the NFL stops it before it is too late.

"Gang related? Drug Related? Any bets?"

- My bet is that the woman in the car with Williams at the time was some other dude's ho that he picked up back at the club.

Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said that a little after 2 a.m., the white Hummer limousine that Williams and two others were traveling in was sprayed with bullets from a vehicle that came up along its side.

Just saw the vehicle, a hummer limo.

To be honest, never saw one of them,

Fox News just said another player may have been in the car with him.

Until black cultural "leaders" address this culture of guns and rap, this is going to go on. Way too many black teens and early twenties types today dress like thugs, talk like thugs, and move like thugs, until they become...thuglike.

It's a cultural thag...just move along...

Rememeber the white culture will be the death of the ghetto culture and it will be a sad day when that happens
