Investigators said a University of Alabama basketball player charged with capital murder provided the gun used in the fatal shooting, but another man fired it.
Investigators wrote in a court document that Darius Miles admitted to providing the handgun immediately before the shooting. Another man is accused by police of firing the gun and killing a young woman near the university’s campus, according to court documents filed in Tuscaloosa.
Harris was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when she was struck by a bullet, investigators wrote in the court document. Defense lawyers for Miles released a statement on Monday saying Miles maintains his innocence and that he and his family “are heartbroken” over Harris’ death.
