Man charged with second-degree murder in CFL player’s death to stand trial
CALGARY — A man charged in the shooting death of a Canadian Football League player last year has been committed to stand trial.
A judge has ruled that there is sufficient evidence for Nelson Tony Lugela to stand trial on a charge of second-degree murder.
Lugela was charged last September following the early-morning shooting of Mylan Hicks outside a Calgary nightclub.
Hicks was a 23-year-old defensive back who was on the practice roster of the Calgary Stampeders.
