I found this on Wikepedia. Its probably what you know already but its at least something.

Death
On January 1, 2007, Williams was shot and killed during a drive-by shooting, at approximately 2:10 a.m. Williams and two other passengers were shot when another vehicle pulled beside his rented Hummer H2 limousine in downtown Denver, Colorado. The shooting occurred near 11th Ave. and Speer Boulevard. It occurred less than 12 hours after the Broncos played their final game of the 2006 season.

Williams had been attending a New Year's Eve party and birthday party for Denver Nuggets player Kenyon Martin at a nightclub, "The Shelter." The Denver Police reported that the shooting was preceded by some type of altercation or argument at the nightclub; a spokesman stated that "There was some confrontation between a group of people in the vehicle and a group at the nightclub.". Williams was not involved in the altercation .

Williams sustained a single gunshot wound to the neck and was killed instantly, according to Robert Whitmore, chief medical examiner in the county coroner's office. After Williams was shot, he fell in the lap of fellow Broncos teammate, Javon Walker. He was pronounced dead around 2:30 a.m. The two other passengers injured in the shooting, Brandon Flowers and Nicole Reindl, were both released from the hospital the day after the shooting.

Darrent Williams' death was the first Denver homicide in 2007.


Aftermath
The Denver police have impounded a vehicle in connection with the shooting. The suspected vehicle is registered to Brian Hicks, a 28 year old Crips gang member, who was already incarcerated awaiting trial for attempted murder and drug charges. Other associates of Hicks are being questioned as potential material witnesses to the Williams shooting.

Williams is survived by his 7-year-old son, a 4-year-old daughter and his 24-year-old girlfriend who live in Fort Worth, Texas. A memorial fund has been set up in their name. Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony, who was with Williams at the nightclub that evening, possibly plans to honor his friend by setting up a college fund for Williams' children. Meanwhile, a fan constructed memorial has formed on the southern wall of the fountain in front of Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium.
