Alabama basketball star Brandon Miller has been linked to the death of Jamea Harris, and police say he transported the gun used in the murder. He remains with the team, however.
The gun belonged to Miller's former teammate, Darius Miles, who then gave it to Michael Davis, who allegedly pulled the trigger.
The University of Alabama has maintained it is cooperating with law enforcement and as long as Miller stays out of legal trouble he will play. Police have said they are not charging Miller with a crime.

The mother of the victim says the Crimson Tide are handling the situation poorly.
"It’s just unimaginable, and it’s like his life is just going on,’’ DeCarla Cotton told USA Today Sports Thursday. "He took a brief pause, and it didn’t stop. It’s like, ‘OK, slap on the wrist and go play ball.’ They’re worried about his career, but what about [my five-year-old grandson, Kaine]. He’s the true victim in all this. He won’t have a mother anymore to influence his growing up and who he’s going to be.
"When somebody says bring a gun to them, what do you think they’re going to do with it? And if there was no gun, she would not be dead."
Harris' stepfather, Delvin Heard, said the way Miller's been treated has been "godawful."
