Discovery+ show to explore 2007 killing of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams

The late Darrent Williams, a Denver Broncos cornerback who was shot and killed in 2007, will be the subject of the discovery+ show “Murder Under The Friday Night Lights” on Wednesday.

The episode, titled “Who Shot Darrent Williams,” will air at 8 p.m. Mountain Standard Time and will explore how the Texas high school football star who was drafted to the Broncos after playing for Oklahoma State University was killed on New Year’s Eve in Denver. Viewers can also stream the show online on Wednesday.

Attorneys who prosecuted Williams’ murderer said the Bronco was not the intended target of the gang member’s drive-by shooting that killed him after leaving a party.
