The man accused of murdering Calgary Stampeder Mylan Hicks outside a city nightclub was acting aggressively inside, a witness testified Wednesday.

“He acted like he was, you know, untouchable, really,” Hilary Jeavons testified about Nelson Lugela’s conduct inside Marquee Beer Market.

Lugela, 21, is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of Hicks on Sept. 25, 2016.

Jeavons said she witnessed an “altercation” between Lugela and his two friends and members of the CFL team inside the nightclub, which occurred after the accused bumped into her.

“He bumped me to get to the bar. There was no reason to bump me,” Jeavons told Crown prosecutor Gord Haight.

“That fellow over there,” she said, pointing to Lugela in the prisoner’s box.

She said Lugela and another man then got into a verbal exchange with members of the Stampeders, starting with kicker Rene Parades.

But she said she didn’t pay much attention to the second individual, whom she described as wearing a red track suit.

“I don’t remember him as much because he wasn’t as loud or pushy,” Jeavons said.

She said the argument lasted about five minutes, before club staff arrived to break it up.

Lugela and his two friends were then taken aside by bar manager Paul Power, she said.

“I honestly thought that they got kicked out.”

A few minutes later, Lugela, who was wearing a white ball cap and white T-shirt, returned with his friends, she said.

“The guy in the white hat was all arrogant, like ‘ahh, I didn’t get kicked out,’ ” Jeavons said.

She said she also saw the trio outside when she left after closing time.

“It was the accused and his two friends arguing amongst themselves,” the witness told court.

“They were loud.”

She said she then went to her car with then-Stampeder Joe Burnett and waited for her roommate, Kevin, to join them.

“Joe heard a gunshot. I’ve never heard a gun before,” Jeavons said.

She then heard two gunshots herself, she said.
