‘Pure love:’ Sister remembers slain Calgary Stampeder Mylan Hicks
The sister of slain Calgary Stampeder Mylan Hicks says he was “pure love” and was trying to be a peacemaker before he was shot outside a nightclub.
Hicks, 23, and some of his teammates were at the Marquee Beer Market and Stage in Calgary celebrating the team’s win Saturday night against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Police say there was a fight inside the club that later continued and escalated in the parking lot, where Hicks was shot.
Nelson Tony Lugela, 19, is charged with second-degree murder.
“The guy was in there causing havoc and from what I understand my brother was the one that tried to defuse the situation and tried to calm him down — ‘Hey man, it’s going to be all right. Let me buy you a round,’” Jazzmine Fowlkes said Wednesday in an interview from Detroit.
