Darius Miles
Darius Miles, a basketball player at the University of Alabama, was one of two suspects charged with capital murder in Tuscaloosa after a 23-year-old woman died in a shooting on the Strip Sunday morning.
Miles, along with fellow suspect Michael Lynn Davis, was arrested for the murder of Jamea Jonae Harris after police discovered her body in the backseat of a car near Bryant Denny Stadium. The driver said that the car sustained gunfire and that he had fired back in self-defense following a disagreement with individuals on the street.
The University of Alabama confirmed the arrest Sunday in a statement.
“We are grateful for the quick and thorough response of law enforcement and emergency response teams, and we will continue to fully support the ongoing investigation,” the statement read. “We were made aware of the recent charge against student-athlete Darius Miles; he has been removed from campus and is no longer a member of the Alabama men’s basketball team.”
