University of Alabama basketball player Darius Miles is one of two suspects charged with capital murder in a Sunday predawn deadly shooting on the Strip in Tuscaloosa.
It was announced Saturday the junior forward was ruled out for the season due to an ankle injury, according to media reports.Miles, 21, appeared to be crying during a perp walk and said, “I love you,’’ and “I love you more than you imagine,’’ several times to someone standing outside the Tuscaloosa County Jail.
Investigators determined that the shooting happened in the 400 Block of Grace Street off of University Boulevard. “The member agencies of the Violent Crimes Unit utilized all their resources and worked together flawlessly to bring this case to a resolution in a rapid manner,’’ Kennedy said.Just before the game, the school announced he’d miss the rest of the season after suffering a preseason ankle injury. He appeared in six games this season before being sidelined to focus on rehabbing the injured ankle.
“We are grateful for the quick and thorough response of law enforcement and emergency response teams, and we will continue to fully support the ongoing investigation. We were made aware of the recent charge against student-athlete Darius Miles; he has been removed from campus and is no longer a member of the Alabama men’s basketball team.”
The driver, who has not been identified, 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. “It appears at this time that the shooting was the result of a minor argument that occurred between the victims and suspects after they encountered each other along the strip,” Kennedy said.
