Denver Police arrest two men connected to Josh Reynolds shooting

Denver Police arrested two men who are under investigation for attempted first-degree murder following the Josh Reynolds shooting.

Denver Police have arrested two men in connection to the Josh Reynolds shooting last week.

Police arrested Burr Charlesworth, 42, on Oct. 19 and Luis Mendoza, 35, on Oct. 22, less than a week after the Oct. 18 shooting. The two suspects “are being held for investigation of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault,” according to KDVR’s Heather Willard.

Further suspects may be identified later.

Reynolds and two other men were followed after they left a club early in the morning of Oct. 18. Two of them suffered non-life-threatening injuries when shot. Reynolds was shot in his arm and the back of his head, but the Denver Broncos said in a statement that his injuries were “minor.”

Reynolds, 29, was already back at practice this week working on a side field with other injured players. Reynolds is currently on injured reserve while recovering from a finger injury.

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

Reynolds hauled in 12 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown in five games this season before being placed on IR.

Broncos WR Josh Reynolds recovering after being shot twice

Denver Broncos WR Josh Reynolds was shot twice on Oct. 18

Frightening stuff out of Denver as it was reported Thursday that Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was shot twice last week.

Reynolds is recovering after being shot in his left arm and back of the head.

Per 9news.com:

Shortly after 3 a.m. on Oct. 18, someone called 911 about a shooting near East Hampden Avenue and South Dahlia Street. The caller reported he was driving a blue Ford Bronco and said he had been shot, according to court documents obtained by 9NEWS.

A second 911 caller said he was being followed and that two of his friends had been shot, the court documents say. That caller was running and said he needed an ambulance. A third caller said they had been shot at.

Officers responded there and located the victims. Among them was Reynolds.
Denver Police have Burr Charlesworth and Luis Mendoza in the case.

The Broncos released a statement on Thursday.

“Josh Reynolds was a victim of a shooting on Friday in Denver and received treatment for minor injuries. Out of respect for the legal process, we will defer further comment on this matter to the authorities.”

 

Broncos release statement after Josh Reynolds was shot in arm, head

“Josh Reynolds was a victim of a shooting on Friday in Denver and received treatment for minor injuries,” the Broncos said in a statement.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds and two other men were shot at after leaving a strip club in Glendale, Colorado last week.

Reynolds was shot in his arm and the back of his head. After news of the shooting broke on Thursday, the Broncos released the following statement:

Josh Reynolds was a victim of a shooting on Friday in Denver and received treatment for minor injuries. Out of respect for the legal process, we will defer further comment on this matter to the authorities.

The team describing the receiver’s injuries as “minor” is a very positive sign.

Denver Police announced this week that Burr Charlesworth and Luis Mendoza were arrested in the shooting case.

Reynolds, 29, signed a two-year, $9 million deal with the Broncos this spring. The veteran receiver totaled 12 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown in five games this season before being placed on injured reserve with a finger injury. He has been at practice this week working on his conditioning on a side field with injured players.

Broncos WR Josh Reynolds shot twice after leaving club

Denver Police arrested two men after Broncos WR Josh Reynolds was shot in his arm and the back of his head after leaving a club on Oct. 18.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was shot twice after leaving Shotgun Willie’s strip club in Glendale, Colorado on Oct. 18, according to a report from Janet Oravetz of 9News.

Reynolds, 29, is OK. He’s been at practice this week working on a side field with other injured players, rehabbing a finger injury.

Reynolds and two other men were followed by multiple vehicles from the strip club and shot at. Reynolds was shot in his arm and the back of his head. Another man was shot in his back and a third man was wounded by shattered class.

The three men were in a blue Ford Bronco when the shooting happened. When their vehicle would no longer drive, they fled and climbed over a fence and police responded to their 911 calls.

The three victims said they had no incidents at the strip club leading up to the shooting, according to court documents obtained by 9News.

Denver Police announced that Burr Charlesworth and Luis Mendoza were arrested in the case on Wednesday. Video footage showed Mendoza watching Reynolds and the two other men in the club and following them when they left. Three vehicles followed the victims when they left.

Reynolds is already on injured reserve with a finger injury. He was eligible to return from that injury in Week 10, but the wounds from this shooting could delay the receiver’s potential return to the field.

Before going on IR, Reynolds hauled in 12 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown in five games this season. He signed a two-year, $9 million deal with the Broncos this spring.

The team released the following statement on Thursday: “Josh Reynolds was a victim of a shooting on Friday in Denver and received treatment for minor injuries. Out of respect for the legal process, we will defer further comment on this matter to the authorities.”

Broncos could have a few players return from injuries this week

Broncos CB Pat Surtain will be two weeks removed from his concussion when Denver hosts the Panthers in Week 8.

The Denver Broncos could get reinforcements on the injury front this week following their mini bye after playing on Thursday Night Football in Week 7.

The biggest name to watch will be cornerback Pat Surtain, who suffered a concussion against the Los Angeles Chargers on Oct. 13 and wasn’t cleared in time to play against the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 17.

The Broncos will be a full two weeks removed from when Surtain suffered the injury when they host the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 27 in Week 8, so the cornerback presumably has a good chance to return in time for that game.

Elsewhere on the injury front, right tackle Alex Palczewski (ankle) will be three weeks removed from his initial injury when the Broncos take on the Panthers. There’s no rush to get Palczewski back on the field because Mike McGlinchey is now healthy again, but Denver’s offensive line will get a nice depth boost when “Palco” is cleared to play again.

Next week, Broncos running back running back Tyler Badie (back) will be eligible to return from injury reserve, and center Luke Wattenberg (ankle) and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) can return in Week 10.

Broncos WR Josh Reynolds to spend at least 4 weeks on IR after finger surgery

Broncos WR Josh Reynolds will miss at least the next four games after undergoing finger surgery and being placed on injured reserve.

The Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds was placed on injured reserve on Saturday with what the team described as a hand injury. That will rule Reynolds out for at least the next four games.

Reynolds (6-3, 194 pounds) recently underwent minor finger surgery and the procedure was successful, according to KPRC-TV’s Aaron Wilson. He will will now miss the team’s upcoming games against the Los Angeles Chargers (home), New Orleans Saints (away), Carolina Panthers (home) and Baltimore Ravens (away).

The earliest Reynolds would be eligible to return would be for a Week 10 showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs on the road on Nov. 10. The 29-year-old receiver hauled in 12 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown before injuring his finger.

Denver’s leading receiver will remain Courtland Sutton. Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Reynolds had been the second-most involved WRs before the Reynolds injury. Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin could be more involved going forward, and Devaughn Vele should be active on Sunday after being a healthy scratch in recent weeks.

Broncos injury report: JL Skinner ruled out for Week 4

Broncos safety JL Skinner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Jets. Here’s the complete injury report.

Denver Broncos safety and special teams ace JL Skinner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets after missing two straight weeks of practice.

Last week, Denver elevated safety Tanner McCalister from the practice squad to the game-day roster. With Skinner out again this week, McCalister might be a candidate for another elevation in Week 4.

Elsewhere on the injury report, tight end/fullback Nate Adkins (shoulder) and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (Achilles) are cleared to play.

Broncos injuries: JL Skinner held out of practice again

Broncos safety JL Skinner’s status for Sunday’s game against the Jets is in doubt after he was held out of practice again on Thursday.

Denver Broncos safety JL Skinner (ankle) missed practice again on Thursday, marking the fifth straight practice he has been held out dating back to last week. Barring a quick recovery turnaround, the safety seems unlikely to play against the New York Jets on Sunday.

Elsewhere on the injury report, tight end/fullback Nate Adkins (shoulder) was limited Thursday and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (Achilles) was upgraded to a full participant.

The Broncos elevated safety Tanner McCalister from the practice squad to the game-day roster when Skinner was ruled out last week. If Skinner is not able to play against the Jets, McCalister will likely be a candidate to get called up again in Week 4.
