Darius Miles, a 21-year-old former University of Alabama basketball player, was charged with capital murder in a deadly Sunday morning shooting on the Strip in Tuscaloosa. Here's what we know today.
The deadly Tuscaloosa shooting happened about 1:45 a.m. Sunday.
Tuscaloosa police and University of Alabama police were dispatched to the Walk of Champions at Bryant Denny Stadium when a vehicle stopped there upon sighting a UA police vehicle.The driver 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.
Police said “the shooting was the result of a minor argument that occurred between the victims and suspects after they encountered each other along the strip.”Miles’ player biography page was removed from the Alabama athletics website Sunday. The school later issued a statement saying he had been “removed from campus” and was no longer a member of the basketball team.
This season, Miles’ role had diminished. He played seven minutes off the bench in the Tide’s season opener Nov. 7 against Longwood but then missed the next four games because of an ankle injury.He appeared on the court in athletic clothes for Alabama’s pre-game warmups ahead of its game Saturday against LSU in Coleman Coliseum, but an hour before tip-off, Alabama issued a statement about Miles.
