According to AP reports, a female passenger was also shot. Williams was 24 years young.

A total of three people were shot and the limo was reportedly riddled with bullets.

Limo riddled with bullets? Just damn, what's going on? RIP, Darrent Williams.

I don't know if this was random or not - but the video of the limo on the TV news channel shows a streach limo with heavily tinted, blacked out windows. They would have to know which seats the passengers were in. It would have to be random shots into the vehicle even if they knew who was in it.
A tragic way for his family to have to bring in the new year. Sad, so sad.

It wasn't a "tragedy." It was a crime. People are so careless with words.

confirmed on CBS.Sportsline.com, which looks a little more reliable than the Post- Chronicle

From Yahoo News

A little after 2 a.m., a white Hummer limousine was sprayed with bullets from a vehicle that pulled up along its side, said Sonny Jackson, spokesperson for the Denver Police Department.

It doesn’t sound random.

I'm crossing it off my bookmarks first time they have a cronkite/rather/ couric byline. But it's a great place to follow out of market games.

I was only kidding there :)

My personal preferences - ESPN for pro sports and rivals.com/scout.com/ESPN for NCAA sports.

In the past couple months, it seems I've reading nothing but sports figures being killed or injured inside or while leaving the glorified saloons and so-called "night clubs" they like to hang out at.

I think if I were an athlete, I'd eschew visiting these joints. But then, many of them are not among the brightest candles at Wicks ' Sticks.

If these raucous joints were safe for customers, why do they all need 300-pound-gorilla "bouncers" at the entranceways?
