Calgary man charged with second-degree murder in death of Stampeders player
CALGARY — Police say about 20 witnesses, including several members of the Calgary Stampeders, were interviewed following the weekend shooting death of their teammate, Mylan Hicks.
A 19-year-old man was charged Monday with second-degree murder after Hicks, a 23-year-old defensive back who was on the football team’s practice roster, was gunned down outside a nightclub early Sunday morning.
“There was an altercation and that involved several people inside the nightclub and was believed to have been over,” Insp. Don Coleman said at a news conference announcing the arrest.
“Then, once the bar lets out, the altercation continued and was escalated in the parking lot, but I don’t know that Mr. Hicks was targeted in any way.
