The University of Alabama men's basketball player Darius Miles, 21, was arrested along with Michael Lynn Davis, 20, on Sunday (January 15) following a shooting the same morning on the Strip, a hub of businesses and restaurants near the campus on University Boulevard.
Police responded to the shooting around 1:45 am on Sunday, where they found 23-year-old Jamea Jonae Harris had been fatally shot while sitting in a car. The driver of the car told police that someone shot into his vehicle, and he returned fire.
The Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit revealed in a statement, "After processing the scenes, speaking with multiple witnesses, and viewing video surveillance, two suspects were developed. It appears that the only motive to this was a minor altercation that these individuals had with the victim as they were out on The Strip."
Miles was playing his third season as a forward for the Alabama Crimson Tide, who revealed, "We were made aware of the recent charge against student-athlete Darius Miles, and he is no longer a member of the Alabama men’s basketball team."
Footage of Miles' arrest made its way online, showing Miles crying and speaking to someone off-camera while being led into a police car. Both Miles and Davis are charged with capital murder and are being held without bond.
