MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A former University of Alabama basketball player has pleaded not guilty to a capital murder charge filed against him after he was accused of providing the gun used in a fatal shooting near campus.
Darius Miles, 21, of Washington, D.C., entered the plea on Monday, according to court documents. Miles, a former junior reserve forward for the Crimson Tide, and Michael Lynn Davis, 21, of Charles County, Maryland, are charged with capital murder in the January shooting death of 23-year-old Jamea Harris.
The shooting occurred on the Strip, a student-oriented business district of bars and restaurants near the Tuscaloosa campus.
Investigators said Harris was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when she was struck by a bullet, which brings a capital murder charge in Alabama.
