New Mexico State Aggies basketball junior forward Mike Peake was identified as a wounded student during a fatal shooting that took place on the university's campus this weekend, according to a Wednesday report from CNN.

An altercation broke out between Peake and 19-year-old Brandon Travis at about 3 a.m. MST on Saturday morning, according to a statement from the New Mexico Department of Public Safety. Both sustained injuries during the altercation. Travis was announced dead at the scene, while Peake was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment after he was shot in the leg. Mike Peake was listed in stable condition by multiple sources.

Travis had “conspired with a 17-year-old female and two of Travis's male friends, all UNM students, to lure the 21-year-old victim to UNM campus and assault him,” according to a statement from New Mexico State Police. The female suspect was arrested and booked in a juvenile detention center after all three accomplices fled the scene. She was later charged with aggravated battery and assault.
