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.

The part of the article that really pisses me off is this:
When contacted at her home Thursday, James declined to talk about who might have been driving her husband's Tahoe, saying to do so wouldn't be "doing any good."
"I ask people to pray for us," James said. "We are victims in all of this, too."
No, you stupid cow, you're not victims. Saying that it wouldn't be "doing any good" to talk about who might have had the Tahoe implies that she knows who it was but she's too much of a pussy/bitch/accomplice to say anything.
It takes A LOT for me to be disgusted with people. A lot. I'm so disgusted with this I don't even know where to begin.
Also, Rev. Kelly called into the sports radio station the other day -- he has a website.

The shooter was probably someone from Iverson's posse.

I get the same reaction when parents/spouses of the criminals say that they've "lost" someone too in these situations. They haven't, and even if that person gets sent away to jail, they'll be able to see and talk to the murderer/accomplice. The person who was murdered is gone forever.

I have to get to work, and so don't have time to check all of the links, or find the one I have in mind, but there was a pretty chilling article in The Rocky the other day about another very similar situation at a local club involving a number of now former Broncos. Fortunately, no shots ended up being fired.
There also was an article a few days ago about whether professional athletes should have body guards.
Pretty scary stuff.

There was a thing on one of the local news channels yesterday about how Nuggets players Julius Hodge (now with the Bucks) and Reggie Evans applied for permits to carry concealed weapons. The news guy was interviewing them at practice, and neither one of them wanted to talk about it. Reggie was pretty funny -- first he said he was just focused on the game. Then the guy kept pressing the issue and Reggie was like hey, Tim Duncan is coming and you have to do anything that you can to get ready for him, like bring out the bazookas and stuff. Then the guy was like, oh, you don't want to talk about this, do you, and Reggie said EXACTLY.
I'm sure if I were Julius Hodge, I'd be all over carrying a weapon -- I wonder what Reggie's deal is. I hate guns, but I can't say I blame him, you know? This is a crappy city for athlete safety.

Drove by the crime scene for the first time since the shooting yesterday.
Strange.
