Three New Mexico State Aggies basketball players seen in video footage interacting with teammate Mike Peake moments after he was involved in the Nov. 19 fatal shooting on the University of New Mexico campus have been suspended for one game.
An NMSU spokesman confirmed Wednesday evening, not long before the Aggies were to play the Santa Clara Broncos in California, that Issa Muhammad, Marchelus “Chi Chi” Avery and Anthony Roy would be held out of the game. Peake has been suspended indefinitely from the team.
“All three are suspended for one game,” said NMSU Associate Vice President for Marketing and Communications Justin Bannister.
