Alabama basketball player suing New York Times for 'inaccurate' story that he was at deadly shooting: report

Last March, the New York Times reported that Kai Spears, a walk-on freshman on the University of Alabama men's basketball team, was present at the January shooting death of 23-year-old Jamea Harris.

Spears has denied the report since it was published, and he is now suing the newspaper.

The report said Spears was at the scene of the fatal shooting along with teammates Brandon Miller, Darius Miles and Jaden Bradley. Michael Davis is alleged to have fired the fatal shot.

The report placed Spears in Miller's car when two bullets hit the windshield, a source told the Times.

Spears slammed the report, saying it "was 100% inaccurate and the writer had complete disregard for the truth."

"I have one thing to say – the report in the New York Times was 100% inaccurate and the writer had complete disregard for the truth," Spears wrote in an Instagram post. "I am trying to process and cope with these false statements that somehow have been published and then seen by so many. So thankful to Alabama Athletics for refuting it on my behalf."
