ENGLEWOOD, COLO. ? Denver Broncos wide receiver Javon Walker says he still has the bloodied shirt from the night teammate Darrent Williams died in his arms after a drive-by shooting on New Year’s Day.

In his first public comments about Williams’ unsolved death, Walker tells HBO’s “Real Sports” in a segment to be aired Tuesday night that he keeps the unlaundered shirt as a reminder of his friend and of the fragility of life.

Interviewer Andrea Kremer asks Walker about showing up to Broncos headquarters about 10 hours after Williams’ slaying while still wearing his bloodstained clothes.

“I still have those clothes,” Walker replied.

Asked why he hadn’t washed them, he said, “It’s just something that reminds me every day of what could happen, and this is what happened to my friend. And this is like … what’s left of him is on my clothes.”

Walker told the Associated Press on Saturday that the interview with Kremer was the only time he planned on talking publicly about the Williams’ slaying.

Williams was a rising 24-year-old star who had just completed his second season in the NFL when the stretch limousine he was riding in was sprayed with bullets after leaving a nightclub in downtown Denver where there had been an altercation between people in Williams’ group and suspected gang members.

No charges have been filed in the case, although police believe several men in custody on federal drug charges have information about Williams’ slaying.

Walker said he didn’t attend Williams’ funeral in Fort Worth, Texas, with the rest of the Broncos “because all it was going to do was just bring back memories of something I didn’t want to feel again.”

He said it had been hard enough when the Broncos held a private memorial service at team headquarters and he didn’t know what to tell Williams’ mother, Rosalind Williams, as she hugged him.

Instead, Walker went to Las Vegas, fearful, he said, for his own life in case the shooter wanted to “finish everyone off” who was in the limo.

Walker, who joined the Broncos in a draft-day trade from Green Bay last year, said at first he didn’t want to keep playing in Denver.
