A University of Alabama basketball player was arrested for the shooting death of a lady near the Tuscaloosa campus early Sunday.
Darius Miles, 21, was busted together with 20-year-old Michael Lynn Davis for allegedly opening fire at a automotive in an area near campus often called “The Strip” around 1:45 a.m., the local ABC News affiliate station reported.
One in all the passengers, 23-year-old passenger Jamea Jonae Harris, was struck by a bullet and died, cops said.
One in all the suspects was struck by a bullet and injured when someone in the opposite automotive opened fire. It was not clear which suspect was shot.
Investigators believed the 2 parties had gotten right into a minor argument along The Strip before the bullets flew.
Miles, who’s from Washington DC, is a junior on the University of Alabama and played forward for the varsity’s basketball team. He was reportedly benched throughout the team’s game against Louisiana State University Saturday on account of an ankle injury.
The university kicked Miles off the team following the news of his murder arrest, it said in an announcement.
“We were made aware of the recent charge against student-athlete Darius Miles; he has been faraway from campus and is not any longer a member of the Alabama men’s basketball team,” the university said.
The varsity can be offering counseling services for college kids.
Neither Harris nor Davis are affiliated with the university.
