Josh Reynolds was shot twice in Denver last week
Reynolds was reportedly shot twice after leaving a strip club in the early hours of the morning last Friday, according to court documents.
He was allegedly shot once in the left arm and once in the back of the head, along a stretch of Interstate 25 south of downtown.
The 29-year-old was taken to hospital at 3am on 18 October for minor injuries.
Denver Police confirmed two men were arrested shortly after the shooting and are being held under investigation for attempted murder and first-degree assault.
