Letter implicates Bronco's killer

The Rocky Mountain News has obtained a copy of a letter believed to be signed by a 26-year-old gang member that says he fired the shots that killed Denver Broncos player Darrent Williams. The letter is the first piece of evidence known publicly to link a triggerman to the New Year's Day 2007 shooting, the city's highest profile unsolved murder. It carries the signature "Willie D. Clark." Clark was arrested on a parole violation days after the slaying and is in jail on pending drug charges. In the letter, Clark says he is worried someone who saw him shoot "D-Will" - a nickname for Williams - will start talking to police about the killing. "(The person) seen me with the gun and shoot out the whip," the letter states. "Whip" is slang for a car. Police have said the shots that killed Williams were fired from a Chevy Tahoe shortly after Williams and a group of friends left a Denver nightclub.

If this is the guy...I hope they fry him. Killing a good guy who was so young with such a bright future in front of him is one of the worst crimes imaginable.

This is no different than the 7 people killed in the slums of Chicago yesterday. We should just turn Canada into a giant jail and fry all these dudes.

who the hell comes up with this slang? whip ???

I hope its him. Get some justice for Williams. I despise cowards and this was a cowardly act

May 31, 2008  10:28 AM ET

If he is the man, are they going to fry him or is Colorado one of those bleeding heart states where they collect and protect murderers?

May 31, 2008  10:30 AM ET

Ah, whodeyjb, they don't fry 'em in Canada. They freeze them!

I thought Colorado was a DP state.. didnt they mention seeking the DP for whoever killed Jon Bonet Ramsey? wasnt that Colorado ?

May 31, 2008  10:35 AM ET

yep.. it is..

"Colorado is among the states that have a death penalty. The only approved method of execution in the state is lethal injection and the penalty may only be imposed for the crime of murder"

The death penalty is not wrong. And you are an idiot. Not because of your liberal views and your support of Obama. I can tolerate that. It's your name and your avatar. You incite hate on this thread without even saying anything. I support the death penalty but I also support the "delete the profile of the habitual hater" too. You qualify for that one.

And frankly, if you "could" care less you would have shown it by now.

most of southeast Ma wonders the same thing.. although they do have a great mall.....

A 26-year old who could have quite literally gotten away with murder sends someone a letter hoping the one person who saw him commit the crime in question doesn't say anything but neglected to tell the letter receiver to destroy the letter.

Stupid criminals, gotta love 'em.

Have to take your word for it. Heck I've probably been through it when I travelled around MA back in the late 80s. Obviously it didn't leave a great impression on me.
