After a brawl broke out at last month’s Aggies-Lobos football game in Las Cruces, investigators say three University of New Mexico students decided they wanted revenge.
So the freshmen hatched a plan to lure New Mexico State University basketball player Mike Peake who they said, had beaten them up “badly” – to campus while in town for a highly-anticipated rivalry basketball game and “jump” him.
Instead there was a shootout that left 19-year-old UNM student Brandon Travis dead and 21-year-old Peake injured. Police say both men had guns. Peake has not been charged with a crime.
But two of the three remaining alleged co-conspirators have.
UNM student Jonathan Smith, 19, has been arrested and charged with aggravated battery, conspiracy and tampering with evidence, all felonies. Prosecutors have asked for him to be held in jail pending trial.
Mya Hill – a 17-year-old UNM freshman who told police she persuaded Peake to take an Uber to campus by saying she would have sex with him – was booked into the juvenile detention center Saturday night. She is charged with aggravated battery and conspiracy in children’s court. It’s unclear who her attorney will be.
Following the shooting, investigators found security camera video footage that shows three men approach Peake and one point a gun at him.
“Two other males stood behind Michael and one of those males hit Michael on his right leg with a bat,” the detective wrote in the affidavit. “Michael ran and the male with the gun fired at Michael several times. Michael pulled a gun out from his waist area and shot back at the male who was shooting at him. Michael struck the male and the male fired back striking Michael on his leg.”
Peake ran off and called for help. Travis died at the scene.

I think that is, by my read, the victim. If one is set up and out-numbered, the shoot is a good shoot. The perpetrator, as I understand it, is the dude in dreadlocks who ended up in the morgue.

The dude should have spent more time at the gun range and less time on the basketball court. He chose poorly.
