Who are Darius Miles & Michael Lynn Davis? Murder suspects of Jamea Harris detained

In connection with an early morning shooting on campus that claimed the life of a 23-year-old woman Jamea Jonae Harris, Alabama men’s basketball player Darius Miles and another man Michael Lynn Davis have been charged with capital murder. Let’s see about it in detail.

Who are Darius Miles & Michael Lynn Davis?

A woman was shot and killed early on Sunday near the Tuscaloosa campus; a University of Alabama basketball player was detained in connection with the crime.

Darius Miles, 21, and Michael Lynn Davis, 20, were arrested for reportedly firing shots at a car in “The Strip,” a neighborhood close to the university, about 1:45 a.m. Jamea Jonae Harris, a 23-year-old passenger, was killed after being hit by a bullet, according to police.

When someone in the other car started firing, one of the suspects was hit by a bullet and injured. Which suspect was shot was not immediately known. Before the shots were fired, investigators thought the two parties had gotten into a little fight along The Strip.

Miles, a junior at the University of Alabama and a native of Washington, D.C., played forward for the team. Due to an ankle injury, he was reportedly benched during the team’s game against Louisiana State University on Saturday. After learning of Miles’ murderous arrest, the university expelled him from the team, according to a statement.

The university’s non-affiliated 20-year-old Michael Lynn Davis was also detained on suspicion of capital murder.

Police Statement

According to Tuscaloosa Police Capt. Jack Kennedy, the shooting took place early on Sunday in the Strip off University Boulevard close to campus. He said that 23-year-old Birmingham resident Jamea Harris was shot and murdered.

Michael Lynn Davis, 20, of Charles County, Maryland, and Miles, 21, a junior reserve forward from Washington, D.C., were both charged with capital murder. According to Kennedy, the death entailed rounds fired into a car, which gave rise to the capital murder charge.

Kennedy said in a news conference Sunday evening,

“At this time, it appears that the only motive was a minor altercation that these individuals had with the victim as they were out on The Strip.”

He said that they had never been in a relationship before.

He claimed that at around 1:45 a.m., the driver of a different vehicle, in which Harris was a passenger, contacted campus police near Bryant-Denny Stadium and reported that someone had shot into it.

The driver then allegedly returned fire. Kennedy refused to say who shot the gun or who was harmed, although one of the suspects was taken to a nearby hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Kennedy stated that neither the driver of the other car, Harris, nor Davis seemed to be connected to the institution.
