Police testify Darius Miles texted Brandon Miller for gun used in killing of Jamea Jonae Harris

More details are emerging about the murder case involving former Alabama forward Darius Miles. According to police testimony, Miles allegedly texted Crimson Tide star Brandon Miller to bring the gun.

AL.com’s Carol Robinson reported the testimony, which reveals Miller’s involvement. When Miller arrived on the scene of last month’s shooting, Miles told Michael Davis — who allegedly pulled the trigger and killed Jamea Jonae Harris — “the heat is in the hat.” That, according to Det. Brandon Culpepper, meant a gun was on the scene. Then, Miles said “there’s one in the head,” which meant a round was in the chamber. Jaden Bradley was also on the scene, according to the testimony.

Police also testified Miller’s windshield was hit twice by gunfire. Tuscaloosa chief deputy district attorney Paula Whitley also spoke with AL.com about why Miller didn’t receive any charges in the case, which saw Miles get charged with capital murder.

“That’s not a question I can answer,” Whitley told Robinson. “There’s nothing we could charge with him according to the law.”

Court records previously revealed Miles provided the gun used in the shooting and Davis pulled the trigger. Miles was supposed to have a hearing Tuesday regarding the case, but it was rescheduled to Tuesday due to a scheduling conflict.

More details on the Darius Miles situation

Miles was removed from campus and the Alabama basketball team as a result of the incident, which took place in the early morning hours of Jan. 15. Police from Tuscaloosa as well as the University of Alabama were dispatched around 1:45 a.m. Sunday. They were sent to the Walk of Champions at Bryant-Denny Stadium. There, they found Harris dead inside a vehicle, per Capt. Jack Kennedy of Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes, as they later deduced that the shooting had taken place off of University Boulevard.

The driver of the vehicle told police their car was hit with gunshots. In turn, the driver returned fire in self-defense and notified authorities that he may have struck one of the shooters.

During his regular press conference the day after the incident, Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats addressed the situation.

“Condolences to the family and friends of Jamea Jonae Harris. Young woman, daughter and mother, who was taken way too soon from a senseless act,” Oats said. “This is an incredibly sad situation and our hearts go out to her loved ones, keeping them in our thoughts and prayers as they continue to grieve. We came together last night and talked, thought it was important that we were all here and around to support one another through this situation.

“With this being a pending investigation, there’s nothing I can add that hasn’t already been shared. You may have some questions but there’s nothing I can comment on relative to Darius’ situation and the investigation.”
