McAllen Rowe football player injured: McAllen Rowe football player injured A Nikki Rowe High School football player, Adan De La Cruz, was injured in a tragic accident over the weekend, McAllen Independent School District (ISD) spokesman Mark May confirmed. De La Cruz was hospitalized, but exact details on his condition were not released.

Incident overview

The incident, described by the school district as a “tragic accident,” has sparked a police investigation. On Monday, McAllen police reported that two people are in custody in connection with the case. A 51-year-old man, Jaime Islas, was arrested and charged with providing alcohol to a minor. His son, a minor, also faces similar charges. The arrests came after police were called to a residence where they discovered a significant amount of alcohol allegedly provided to minors, including De La Cruz.

Community reaction

In light of the incident, McAllen ISD has provided counseling services for students and staff as they return to school. A vigil originally planned to honor De La Cruz was canceled out of respect for his family. De La Cruz is considered a talented athlete who played linebacker for three years and earned First Team All-District honors last season after leading his team with 82 tackles. His contributions on the field have made him a key player for the upcoming season.

Ongoing investigation

The McAllen Police Department's investigation is ongoing, and additional charges are expected as more evidence becomes available. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to come forward. While the community stands behind De La Cruz during this difficult time, updates on his condition and the investigation will be closely monitored.
