Alabama basketball has been having a fantastic season. The Crimson Tide currently sits at 15-2 and are 4th in the AP Poll.
But, that’s not the biggest story to come out of the program this year. That would be an arrest for murder of one of their players, Darius Miles.
Miles was arrested on Sunday in connection with the murder of 23-year-old Jamea Harris in downtown Tuscaloosa early Sunday morning.
Here’s some security footage of the incident where you can hear the gunshots.

And, new details are out about the incident, courtesy of the New York Post.
University of Alabama basketball player Darius Miles allegedly provided the handgun that was used in a shootout near campus that left one woman dead, a report said Tuesday.
Miles, 21, admitted to police that he gave 20-year-old Michael Lynn Davis the weapon that Davis used to open fire on a car in downtown Tuscaloosa — leaving Jamea Harris dead in the passenger seat, according to TMZ.
Citing court documents, the outlet said witnesses have identified Davis as the gunman and cops obtained Ring doorbell footage of the tragic slaying.
What a tragedy. Rest in peace, Jamea Harris.
