Suspected gang member Willie Clark has been found guilty of murder in the shooting death of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams.
A Denver jury returned the verdict Thursday after an 11-day trial and a day and a half of deliberation.
Clark faces a sentence of life in prison. There was no immediate word on an appeal.
Williams was killed on New Year's Day 2007. Prosecutors said Clark fired the fatal shots from an SUV that pulled up beside a rented limo carrying Williams and some friends.
Prosecutors said Clark was angry over an altercation involving friends of Williams and friends Clark that occurred in a nightclub just before the shooting.
Defense attorneys said Clark is being made a scapegoat and wasn't even in the SUV.
Broncos President and Chief Executive Officer Pat Bowlen released the following statement Thursday on the trial involving Darrent Williams:
Nothing can ever bring Darrent Williams back or ease the suffering for Rosalind and her grandchildren.
But after three long years, it is very gratifying to see closure brought to this case. This process has been extremely difficult for the Williams family, his friends and teammates, this community, and the entire Denver Broncos organization.
I would like to praise the long and hard work of the Denver Police Department and the Denver District Attorney’s Office. I also want to thank the Denver community for the overwhelming support that both the Williams family and the Broncos have received during this unimaginable tragedy.
Darrent’s legacy will live on for all of us in the Broncos organization, and the outstanding work done each day at the Darrent Williams Memorial Teen Center is a tribute to his impact on this community. Our hearts continue to go out to the entire Williams family.
