A local district attorney's office is investigating the "conduct" of New Mexico State men's basketball players and staffers in connection with a high-profile shooting last month that involved forward Mike Peake.
Peake, a 21-year-old junior on the men's basketball team, shot and killed Brandon Travis, a 19-year-old University of New Mexico student, on Nov. 19, in what police have called a self-defense situation. Peake, who was suspended indefinitely by NMSU this week, was also shot and underwent multiple surgeries at a local hospital before he was discharged.
"The Bernalillo County District Attorney's Office is actively working with the New Mexico State Police to investigate the conduct of the New Mexico State University staff and players," Lauren Rodriguez, a spokeswoman for the Bernalillo County District Attorney's Office, said in a statement.
