That is good news - there wasn't much news nationally on what happened after the shooting, it's good to see he's recovered enough to resume playing pro basketball.

Yeah, although it's not as exciting as it might seem -- they brought him back up from the D-League team because they're short so many players right now (Anthony and Smith still suspended, Nene out with wonky knee). IIRC, he's out after this year, because they didn't pick up his contract. But still, it's nice to see him.
Also, latest update -- they're looking for a '98 Chevy Tahoe, Colorado plate no. 665 OBS. It's registered to a Brian Hicks, who is in jail on charges stemming from an unrelated shooting (of a woman who was to testify against him in a separate case and was killed in December). Apparently his wife, who is not in jail, also participated in threatening the witness against her husband. Nice.

Holy crap!
Is that the woman who was found murdered in her home in Cherry Creek North a couple of weeks ago who was supposed to testify against her ex husband?
Our middle daughter used to live in that duplex!
This is too spooky!

I heard on the radio this morning that they found the Tahoe - it was missing a rear license plate but still had the front one and had been burned. They said it was halfway to a Denver Airport. The only site I've found mentioning this is www.9news.com which says its a Colorado News Station, and their top header says "Breaking News: Denver Police believe they have found the Chevy Tahoe with license plates matching the vehicle wanted in the Darrent Williams murder case."
ETA: ((From http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...04/detail.html ))
DENVER -- Denver police found a Chevrolet Tahoe that had been sought in the investigation of the shooting death of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams.
The 1998 Tahoe was found burned out and abandoned at 40th Avenue and Himalaya Street in the Green Valley Ranch subdivision just after 6 a.m. Thursday, 7News reported.
The white car appeared to have been painted black, except for the roof of the vehicle, or it may have been burned. A license plate was missing from the rear of the SUV, but the front license plate matched the number police said was being sought.

FYI, "9News" is the promotional name for KUSA-TV, the NBC affilliate in Denver. It's a pretty good news organization, owned by Gannett Corporation.
The Broncos, as a team, fly to Texas today for the funeral after having met with Williams' mother in a reported very emotional meeting yesterday.

Yes, it's the same people who were, um, "allegedly" involved with that.
Fan950 reported that the Tahoe was painted black (except for the roof -- how subtle!) and not burned. I'm not familiar with the Green Valley Ranch area, but it's out in what I would consider the boonies, although the Mr. says there are houses and stuff there. If you look at an aerial image of the area (you can see one here) it looks like it was found at the end of a street in a suburban-sprawl type neighborhood. That seems like a weird place to leave it -- did they know someone living in that community or was it chosen at random? If it was random, why there, where I'd guess someone would promptly notify the police on noticing a weirdly painted Tahoe? I hope there's a wealth of forensic evidence -- LOL I sound like Dayle Hinman from Court TV.

Also, take back what I said earlier about where the car was found -- it actually was at 38th & Himalaya, which is not in a subdivision.
Now the police are looking for three gang members -- story here. I've heard there are pictures/sketches out there, but haven't seen them yet.
ETA: here's an article about the clubs on South Broadway, where Darrent was hanging out before he was killed.
ETA again: The Club Shelter Myspace sent out the following bulletin:
There seems to be a witch hunt for the wrong person going on here! All stories like this do is draw attention away from the fact that a young man has died due to an act of horrific and senseless violence.
I heard a point worth passing along: If the story were to focus on the fact Darrent Williams' vehicle was shot at numerous times on a DENVER street where the crime occurred, then we as a city would have to admit that our streets are unsafe, but if the focus is put on a nightclub or it's owner then we can rest easily. I doubt that this area of town looks any different than LoDo's does at 2am. But that seems to be a santioned area by media and city officials. Why the lack of focus on the real issue?
I think these guys are assholes of the highest order, but that's just me.

Unreal quote from that article:
Quote:
The Rev. Leon Kelly, who works with youths in danger of joining gangs and is considered an expert on Denver gang activity, said that the fact that Hicks is accused of intending to distribute 8.8 pounds of cocaine is an indicator that he had gained status and influence within the gang.
"Dealing that much weight in drugs gives you a lot of clout," Kelly said. "That's a lot of flake."

What a craptacular situation . . . especially if the "gang signs from friends" bit is at all true. Just awful.
