DENVER (CBS4) - Denver police say a man died after being shot early Sunday morning in the LoDo neighborhood. Officers responded to the area near 20th and Market Streets at around 2:45 a.m.
CBS4 saw crime scene tape up still near 21st and Market Streets several hours later. CBS4 learned all three males are relatives.
Family members of the victim identified him as Tre Williams. They say he was a son, a father and a football player. Williams reportedly played in a small local league which helps athletes prepare for college or arena football.
Williams was a cornerback for the Mile High Sting. His coach says the football community is heartbroken.
