Accused found guilty of second-degree murder in the slaying Calgary Stampeders football player Mylan Hicks
This is a 2015 photo of Mylan Hicks of the San Francisco 49ers NFL football team. The Calgary Stampeders say team member Mylan Hicks died after his ``life was taken in act of violence early on Sunday morning.'' Last Updated Monday, March 11, 2019 12:17PM EDT
Nelson Lugela, who is 21, was charged after Mylan Hicks was killed outside the Marquee Beer Market in Calgary in September 2016.A disagreement over a spilled drink in the bar intensified after closing time in the parking lot. Several witnesses identified Lugela as the man holding the gun. But one, a server at the bar, testified it was another person from the group who pulled the trigger.
He said if Yamauchi is satisfied Lugela fired the weapon, then the judge needs to determine if Lugela's level of intoxication warrants reducing a murder conviction to manslaughter.
