CALGARY – A judge has sentenced the man who killed a Calgary Stampeders football player to serve at least 18 years of a life sentence before he can seek parole.

Nelson Lugela was found guilty earlier this year of second-degree murder in the death of Mylan Hicks.

Hicks, a 23-year-old player on the practice roster of the Canadian Football League Stampeders, was shot outside Calgary’s Marquee Beer Market in 2016.
