By james art Josh Reynolds was out with a scary injury.
The Denver Broncos wide receiver was injured in a shooting that occurred last Friday in Denver, according to documents obtained by KUSA-TV in Denver. Reynolds was shot twice – once in the left arm and once in the back of the head. Another man in the car was shot in the back and a third victim was injured by broken glass.
Police responded to the incident after a 911 call shortly after 3 a.m. on Oct. 18.
Before the incident, the victims said they had been at Shotgun Willie’s, a strip club in Glendale, but claimed to have left at 2:45 a.m. They also said they had no incidents during their stay at the club. They further claimed that after they left the club, two drivers started following them in vehicles and fired at them. The suspects followed them onto the highway, at which point the victims’ car could no longer drive and they got out and fled on foot.
On Wednesday, Denver police announced they had arrested two men in connection with the case. Burr Charlesworth and Luis Mendoza have been arrested in connection with the case. Court documents allege that Mendoza entered the strip club and observed the victims, eventually following them into a car. Several cars appeared to wait for the victims to leave, then three vehicles followed them out of the parking lot.
The Broncos placed Reynolds on injured reserve this week because of a broken finger. On the season, Reynolds has 12 receptions for 183 yards and a touchdown.
