Brandon Miller, a freshman player on the second-best men’s basketball team in Alabama, was connected to a shooting of a woman in Tuscaloosa. Despite this, he was allowed to play in a match against South Carolina hours after the incident.
The University of Alabama announced that he is still a member of the team and is not suspected of being involved in a shooting that happened near the campus in mid-January. Miller’s lawyer confirmed that his client never touched the gun linked to the shooting.

The Shooting Incident and his Relation to it
In January 2022, a 23-year-old woman named Jamea Harris was shot and killed in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Alabama Crimson Tide player Brandon Miller was named as a witness by authorities. During a bond hearing for former Crimson Tide player Darius Miles and Michael Lynn Davis, a detective testified that Miller had brought Miles a gun.
Davis was accused of shooting into a car, and killing Harris. A lawyer for Miller denied that his client was involved in the exchange and that he never interacted with anyone in Harris’ party. Miller is considered a witness by Coach Oats and is not in trouble. He continued to play for Alabama despite calls for him to be expelled.
An official connection to the fatal incident was made for the first time in the testimony of a labama player. Although some students yelled, “Lock him up!” before the game, Miller continued to warm up with his teammates.
