Bama Basketball Player Charged With Capital Murder In Weekend Shooting

A junior forward on the #4 Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team has been charged with capital murder after an early-morning shooting near the school’s Tuscaloosa campus.

The player, 23-year-old Darius Hairston Miles, is one of two men facing murder charges following the shooting death of a woman, 23-year-old Jamea Jonae Harrison, of Birmingham, who was mother to a five-year-old.

“It appears at this time that the shooting was the result of a minor argument that occurred between the victims and suspects after they encountered each other along the strip,” said Tuscaloosa Police Captain Jack Kennedy. The Strip is an area of bars, restaurants and retail shops along University Boulevard, and is a focal point of the college town’s night life.

As a handcuffed Miles was escorted from Tuscaloosa County Jail into a police vehicle, he could be seen crying, “I swear, I love you more than you imagine.” It wasn’t clear whom he was addressing. The capital murder charge springs from the fact that fatal shots were fired into a vehicle.
