Broncos WR Josh Reynolds was injured in a shooting last week

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was one of two men injured in a shooting in Denver last Friday.

“Josh Reynolds was the victim of a shooting in Denver on Friday and was treated for minor injuries,” the team said in a statement Thursday. “Out of respect for the legal process, we will leave further comment on this matter to the authorities.”

Police documents show that Reynolds and another man were located, after multiple 911 calls reporting two people had been shot, near South Quebec Street and East Union Avenue in Denver. Reynolds had been shot twice: once in the left arm and once in the back of the head.

Team sources said Thursday that Reynolds was treated and released from a Denver-area hospital hours after the shooting.

Reynolds could not be reached for comment.

Reynolds, who is currently on injured reserve after finger surgery, was on hand for team activities this week, including Thursday, at the Broncos complex in south suburban Denver. The Broncos played the Saints in New Orleans last Thursday night (October 17) and Reynolds did not make the trip as he is currently on injured reserve.

Police said Reynolds and two others reported they were at Shotgun Willie’s, a strip club in Glendale, Colorado, and left at 2:45 a.m. last Friday morning. The three men left the club in an SUV and later told police they were followed by several vehicles and shots were fired.

Reynolds and the two men got out of the SUV they were in when it stopped moving on Interstate 25, the highway that bisects Denver from north to south. The SUV was later found by police with multiple bullet holes in it.

The third man in Reynolds’ group was injured by broken glass but was not shot, according to police documents.

Denver police announced they had arrested two men in connection with the shooting: Burr Charlesworth, 42, and Luis Mendoza, 35.

Documents show police investigators say Mendoza followed Reynolds and the two others out of the strip club when the group left.
