NFL receiver Josh Reynolds was targeted during a shooting last year while playing for the Denver Broncos. Court documents have now revealed why.

According to 9NEWS in Denver, Reynolds and two of his friends were shot last October while leaving a club because they were victims of mistaken identity.

The station reports that there was a $250,000 cocaine deal involving fake money that took place, and after the drug dealer found out that the money was fake, he enlisted others to get revenge.

After the drug deal took place in a hotel room, $37,000 worth of fake money was found by a hotel cleaning crew, as well as a money counter and white powder, according to 9NEWS.

According to documents viewed by 9NEWS, the plan was for the drug dealer’s crew to “[expletive] them up” for using fake money.
