Denver Broncos WR Josh Reynolds injured in shooting

On the morning of October 18, Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was injured in a shooting after leaving a strip club, per 9 News. According to court documents, Reynolds was shot twice, once in the left arm and once in the back of the head.

Two other men were also reportedly injured. One of them was shot in the back, the other was injured by broken glass. All three men had abrasions from climbing over a fence.

Police initially received a call about a shooting in the area around 3 a.m. local time. Then a second person called and reported that two of his friends had been shot and that he was being followed. A third person also called claiming he had been shot at.

“Prior to the shooting, the victims reported they were at Shotgun Willies, a strip club in Glendale, but left around 2:45 a.m.,” 9News’ Janet Oravetz wrote. “According to court documents, they reported that there were no problems at the club.

“As they left, two drivers began following them in vehicles and shots were fired, according to court documents. They reported to police that the suspects continued to follow them as they entered the highway. Once there, they said the vehicle would no longer move and they ran away from the vehicle.”

On Wednesday, police announced they had arrested Burr Charlesworth and Luis Mendoza in the case. Mendoza had reportedly been at the strip club the night of the shooting and followed Reynolds and his two friends out of the club as they left.

Charlesworth and Mendoza may not have been the only ones, however, as a total of three cars were seen following the victims. After his arrest, Charlesworth reportedly told investigators that he was “helping” a friend who had asked him to follow the victims due to a previous conflict.

Unfortunately, Charlesworth declined to provide further details about the other vehicles. Charlesworth claimed he never shot Reynolds or the two other men who suffered injuries.

Josh Reynolds is currently on reserve due to a broken finger, but at this time the Broncos have not released a statement on the shooting. Reynolds played in the first five games of the season for the Broncos, recording 12 receptions for 183 yards and a touchdown.

Despite missing the past two weeks, Reynolds is the team’s second-best receiver, trailing only Courtland Sutton. The Broncos will take on the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at 4:25 PM ET.
