DENVER (AP) -Prosecutors say a suspected gang member accused of shooting and killing Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams fired indiscriminately into a rented limousine after a confrontation at a nightclub.
Prosecutors made their opening statement Tuesday in the trial of Willie Clark, who is charged with first-degree murder and other counts.
Williams was killed on New Years’ Day 2007.
Prosecutors say two people were shooting but Clark fired the fatal shots. They say the shooting came after Clark was sprayed with champagne and got into an argument with a Broncos player at a nightclub. It’s not clear who that player was.
Defense attorneys say Clark is being made a scapegoat and that the prosecution’s case is built on testimony from people who have made deals in their pending cases.
