Two men have been charged with capital murder after a fatal shooting near the University of Alabama campus.
The incident occurred early Sunday morning in the Strip off University Blvd. According to Tuscaloosa County District Attorney Jack Kennedy, Jamea Harris, 23, of the Birmingham area was shot and killed.
The capital murder charge arose because the death involved shots fired into a vehicle. Kennedy said in a news conference Sunday evening that the only motive appears to have been a minor altercation between the victim and the two suspects.
The two suspects have been identified as Darius Miles, 21, a junior reserve forward from Washington, D.C., and Michael Lynn Davis, 20, of Charles County, Maryland. Both men have been charged with capital murder.
The University of Alabama released a statement saying that Miles has been suspended from the basketball team and that the university is cooperating with the investigation.
The incident is still under investigation and no further information has been released at this time.
