University of Alabama forward Darius Miles, 21, has been charged with capital murder after a fatal shooting near campus.
Tuscaloosa Police Capt. Jack Kennedy said 23-year-old Jamea Harris was shot and killed early Sunday morning. “At this time, it appears that the only motive was a minor altercation that these individuals had with the victim as they were out on the Strip,” Kennedy said Sunday night.

Michael Lynn Davis, 20, has also been charged with capital murder in the shooting, the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit said in a release. Both he and Miles are being held without bond.
Kennedy said the driver of another vehicle, where Harris sat as a passenger, approached campus police at about 1:45 a.m. saying that someone had shot into the vehicle and he fired back. One of the suspects had been hit by the returning gunfire and had a non-life-threatening wound, investigators said.

The university said it and the athletics department are cooperating with the investigation. Miles’s profile has been removed from the athletic department’s website, and the university said he is no longer on the team.
Miles, a junior, was a reserve for Alabama. He played in six games this season. The last time he played for the fourth-ranked Crimson Tide, on Dec. 20, 2022, he logged seven minutes and scored 2 points in Alabama’s 84-64 win over Jackson State.
