“Darius Miles and Michael Lynn Davis: Suspects in the Murder of Jamea Harris Now in Custody”

In connection with an early morning campus shooting that claimed the life of 23-year-old woman Jamea Jonae Harris, Alabama men’s basketball player Darius Miles and another man, Michael Lynn Davis, have been charged with capital murder. Let’s see about it in detail.

Who are Darius Miles and Michael Lynn Davis?

A woman was shot and killed early Sunday near the Tuscaloosa campus; a University of Alabama basketball player was taken into custody in connection with the crime.

Darius Miles, 21, and Michael Lynn Davis, 20, were arrested for shooting at a car in “The Strip,” a neighborhood near the university, around 1:45 a.m. Jamie Jonah Harris, a 23-year-old passenger, was killed after he was hit by a bullet, according to police.

When someone from the other car started shooting, one of the suspects was hit by a bullet and wounded. It was not immediately known which suspect was shot. Before the shots were fired, investigators believed the two sides had gotten into a fight along The Strip.

Miles, a junior at the University of Alabama and native of Washington, played forward for the team. An ankle injury kept him off the bench during the team’s game against Louisiana State University on Saturday. After learning of Miles’ murder arrest, the university suspended him from the team, according to a statement.

Michael Lynn Davis, 20, who is not affiliated with the university, was also taken into custody on suspicion of capital murder.

Police statement

According to Tuscaloosa Police Capt. Jack Kennedy, the shooting happened early Sunday on the Strip off University Boulevard near the campus. He said 23-year-old Birmingham resident Jamea Harris was shot and killed.

Michael Lynn Davis, 20, of Charles County, Md., and Miles, 21, a junior reserve forward from Washington, D.C., were charged with capital murder. According to Kennedy, the death resulted in rounds being fired into a car, leading to a felony murder charge.

Kennedy said at a press conference Sunday evening,

“At this time, it appears that the only motive was a minor altercation these individuals had with the victim while on the Strip.”

He said they had never had a relationship before.

He claimed that around 1:45 a.m., the driver of another vehicle in which Harris was a passenger contacted campus police near Bryant-Denny Stadium and reported that someone had shot at him.

The driver then allegedly returned fire. Kennedy declined to say who fired the gun or who was injured, although one of the suspects was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Kennedy said neither the driver of the other car, Harris, nor Davis appeared to be affiliated with the institution.
