Miles, who was a junior forward on the team, and Michael Lynn Davis, who is unaffiliated with the university, are suspects in the shooting death of the 23-year-old Harris stemming from an incident in an area of Tuscaloosa called “The Strip.”
“I just want to start by offering condolences to the family and friends of Jamea Jonae Harris, the young woman, mother, daughter who was taken away too soon from a senseless act,” Oats said in a prepared statement. “This is an incredibly sad situation. Hearts go out to her loved ones. I’m keeping them in my thoughts and prayers as they continue to grieve.”
Oats said he could not comment on more specifics of the criminal investigation beyond what has already been disclosed. He said that the team has been meeting and attempting to maintain routine and structure, and that he has talked to Miles’ mother multiple times since the incident transpired. “It’s really a tragedy all around, especially for Jamea and her family,” Oats said of his message to his players. “Wish we weren’t having to address this situation, but we’ve got to pull together as a team at this point and … really be there for each other.
