The shooting of former Broncos player Josh Reynolds and his friend while they were chased by a dozen conspirators across Denver last year was not motivated by Reynolds’ status as an NFL player, the Denver District Attorney’s Office said this week.
Reynolds, who played for the Broncos at the time but is now with the New York Jets, and one of his friends were shot in the Oct. 18 attack, which prosecutors in court filings called a “calculated and carefully coordinated assassination attempt on three unarmed and defenseless men.”
“This premeditated attack unfolded over the course of multiple hours, spanned nearly 10 miles and involved as many as a dozen synchronized conspirators, riding in four different vehicles and firing between five and eight guns in excess of 30 separate times,” prosecutors wrote in a March court filing.
