A former San Joaquin Delta College basketball player was one of the five passengers killed in a helicopter crash into the East River in New York.
Tristan Hill, who played for the Mustangs from 2007-09, worked onboard a chartered photographing helicopter flight when it crashed on Sunday.
Hill, 29, was a 6-foot-3 guard for Delta. He played high school basketball at Galena High School, helping the Grizzlies with the Nevada state title in 2007. He later played at Missouri Valley College, and worked for Sightsy, the company running the helicopter flights.
