New Mexico State basketball coach Greg Heiar put his team on a bus to return to the Aggies’ Las Cruces campus after police in Albuquerque had asked to interview three of his players as they searched for a weapon used in a fatal shooting and other potential evidence, according to the New Mexico State Police supplemental investigation report released to ESPN on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The investigation report said Marchelus Avery, Issa Muhammad and Anthony Roy were seen on video in a yellow Camaro in the parking lot where University of New Mexico student Brandon Travis was shot and killed Nov. 19 by Aggies junior forward Mike Peake in what police have called a self-defense case. Peake, who was hospitalized after he too was shot, placed his gun, phone and tablet in the car, according to the police report.<\/p>\n

The Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday that it was working with New Mexico State Police and investigating the “conduct” of Aggies coaches and players in connection with the fatal shooting. The police reports add to the scrutiny around the team’s and coaching staff’s actions in the hours that followed the shooting.<\/p>\n
