Goodbye, Darrent Williams
Darrent Williams is dead. It looks like a targeted murder:
Broncos right cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed this morning after leaving a nightclub in a limousine, Denver Broncos sources say.
Two other people, a man and a woman, who were in the back of an H2 Hummer limousine, were also shot but their injuries were not considered life threatening, said Sonny Jackson, Denver police spokesman.
Even though the Broncos are our nemesis, I had a lot of respect for Darrent Williams' skills on the field. You could certainly see his maturation under Champ Bailey's mentorship, and I'd looked forward to dreading matchups against them in the future.
Farewell.
Update: Captain's Quarters has a little more, including this tidbit:
In December, Williams spoke of returning to his hometown this offseason to talk to youngsters about staying out of gangs. Williams, who has two young children in the Fort Worth area, recently talked to Criss about establishing a free football camp for youth players.
Additionally, from his Dec 3 interview with the Denver Post:
I think I would have been in an office somewhere, an office manager. I've got my own entertainment company now, a record label. Ryno Entertainment. We've got a CD about to come out in the next couple of weeks.
