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 mom used to tell me "Be home by midnight. Nothing good ever happens after that."

How awful for the family and the team.

Holy moly!

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.

Sometimes this fashion slops over into action. Probably, that's what happened here.

Of course, pointing this out makes me racist.

Denver must not be having that bad weather as the media has been telling us.If there is bad weather and for no other reason he should've stayed home along with good common sense.

The worst of the weather hit far south and East of Denver.

Is this poor journalism, or was he killed while in the limo? Guess the details will be forthcoming.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the team losing?

I recall that nutcase in Brazil that killed one of their soccer players because they lost a game in the world cup.

May he rest in peace. Prayers for the other victim and their families.

"I recall that nutcase in Brazil that killed one of their soccer players because they lost a game in the world cup."

It was Columbia. Andreas Escobar, who scored an own goal in their loss to the USA in 1994, was shot dead back home in Medellin a week or two later.

Thank you for the correction.

Prayers for the family.

Gang realated? Drug Realted? Any bets?

Denver Police say that a car drove next to the Limo, then fired several shots into the car. They are looking for witnesses and need more information.
