Broncos WR Josh Reynolds was injured shooting last week

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was one of two men injured in a shooting in Denver early 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 Reynolds and another man were found near South Quebec Street and East Union Avenue in Denver after multiple 911 calls reporting that two people had been shot. Reynolds had been shot twice – once in the left arm and once in the back of his 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 following finger surgery, was present at team activities at the Broncos' complex in south suburban Denver this week, including Thursday. The Broncos played the Saints in New Orleans last Thursday night (October 17) and Reynolds was unable to 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 that they were chased by several vehicles and shots were fired.

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

The third man in Reynolds' group was injured by broken glass but 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 other two out of the strip club as the group was leaving.
