Damn this sucks, way too young to go, and the weirdest part is that he is on my fantasy team, crazy stuff. RIP :sad:
Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams shot and killed Updated: Jan. 1, 2007, 8:26 AM ET Broncos' Williams killed Monday morningAssociated Press DENVER -- Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in downtown Denver early Monday morning, police said. Team spokesman Jim Saccomano said police called him about 3 a.m. Mountain Time from the scene of the shooting and told him three people had been shot and that Williams had been killed. Saccomano said he spoke with coach Mike Shanahan and others in the organization. "Complete shock. We're speechless. It takes words away. A terrible tragedy," Saccomano said. 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. All three people in the limousine were hit. They were taken to area hospitals, where Williams was pronounced dead. The other victims, a male and a female, were not identified. Hours before the shooting, the Broncos lost to San Francisco 26-23 in overtime, eliminating them from the playoff race. Williams, a second-round pick in the 2005 draft out of Oklahoma State, started nine games as a rookie due to injuries. This season, he took over as the starter for Lenny Walls alongside Champ Bailey, and was second on the team with four interceptions and tied for third with 86 tackles. On Sunday against the 49ers, he had a sack, a forced fumble, and led the team with seven sacks. Jackson said police were searching for the suspects and interviewing witnesses.

That's horrible... I hope this is a wake up call to athletes to stop putting themselves in situations where bad things can happen
I was thinking maybe that could be it. That would really be sick. More likely, it is something else. It's also possible someone else in the vehicle may have been the true target.
he was supposively involved in an altercation before leaving a nightclub.....minutes later he was killed RIP Darrent Williams.....always liked the guy as a player and he seemed like a fun guy
Mistaken Identity? Certainly hope it wasn't a hit on this kid. It just doesn't make sense that someone would spray a Hummer Limo at random unless they had some idea who was inside it. Sad day. I wonder what the real story behind this is..
This is messed up i didnt really like or follow the guy but i feel bad about something happening like this when u are so young.
R.I.P. Darrent Williams. I have a feeling if the Broncos had won last night, meaning they get into the playoffs, that this may have not happened. But still, R.I.P. Darrent Williams.
