University of Alabama basketball player Darius Miles charged with capital murder in shooting death on the Strip in Tuscaloosa.
Saturday announcement the junior forward was ruled out for the season due to an ankle injury.
24 hours later, Miles was being led in handcuffs into the Tuscaloosa County Jail.
Darius Miles, 21, appeared to be crying during a perp walk and said, “I love you,’’ and “I love you more than you can imagine,’’ several times to someone standing outside the Tuscaloosa County Jail. Video footage can be seen below.
Both Miles, of Washington D.C., and Michael Lynn Davis, 20, of Maryland, are charged in the killing of Jamea Jonae Harris, 23, of Birmingham.
The shooting happened on the Strip.
Sunday About 1:45 a.m. , Tuscaloosa police and University of Alabama police were dispatched to the Walk of Champions at Bryant Denny Stadium on a shooting.
A vehicle had stopped there upon sighting a University of Alabama Police vehicle.
Harris was dead inside the vehicle, said Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Capt. Jack Kennedy.
The driver, who has not been identified, told police their vehicle had been struck by gunfire. The driver said he had returned fire in self-defense and may have struck a suspect.
Investigators determined that the shooting happened in the 400 Block of Grace Street off of University Boulevard.
Kennedy said after speaking with multiple witnesses and viewing video surveillance, they identified two suspects. Both were located and interviewed.
One suspect was found to have indeed been struck by gunfire, Kennedy said, and had a non-life-threatening wound.
The member agencies of the Violent Crimes Unit utilized all their resources and worked together flawlessly to bring this case to a resolution in a rapid manner.
