Josh Reynolds, a wide receiver for the New York Jets, was shot in the back of the head and leg in October 2024 during a mistaken identity incident tied to a $250,000 counterfeit money drug deal, as revealed by court documents. The event unfolded when Reynolds and two others were targeted during a car chase after suspects wrongly identified them as part of a fraud-related crime. The suspects, who believed the trio was involved in a prior drug deal, surveilled the group inside a strip club in Glendale the night of the shooting before initiating the pursuit.
