Brandon Miller has spoken out for the first time about his involvement relating to the shooting and killing of Jamea Jonae Harris.
One of the star freshman’s attorneys, Jim Standridge, released a statement on Wednesday stating his client’s innocence.
According to law enforcement testimony at a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, Miller was asked to bring his gun to teammate Darius Miles and another man, Michael Lynn Davis, on Jan. 15. Miles and Davis have been charged with capital murder after allegedly opening fire at a car and killing Harris in an area called “The Strip,” near the Alabama campus.
“UA Athletics continues to cooperate fully with law enforcement in the on-going investigation of this tragic situation,” Alabama said in a statement. “Based on all the information we have received, Brandon Miller is not considered a suspect in this case, only a cooperative witness. Today’s statement from Brandon’s lawyer adds additional context that the University has considered as part of its review of the facts.
While Miles went to a nightclub, Miller went to a restaurant, the statement said. Around midnight, Miles then asked Miller for a ride to meet friends, according to the statement. Before Miller arrived, according to the statement, Miles and a companion of Harris “apparently exchanged words,” unbeknownst to Miller.
