Former Lobo tragically killed in shooting

Former UNM Football player Meiko Locksley, the son of former UNM head coach and current Alabama co-offensive coordinator Mike Locksley, was shot and killed in Baltimore, MD on Sunday, Sept. 3. He was 25 years old.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban confirmed the news during his weekly press conference last Monday.

Locksley was shot outside of his home Sunday night and found by a neighbor who was one of multiple people to call 911; the callers reported hearing a single gunshot just before 10:30 p.m.

When law enforcement arrived, Locksley was transported to the University of Maryland Trauma Shock Center, where he died overnight.
