New reports have surfaced surrounding the untimely death of Jamea Harris.

As previously reported, Sunday morning (Jan.15) Alabama basketball player Darius Miles, 21, and his associate Michael Davis, 20, were involved in the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Jamea Harris.

According to Tuscaloosa Police Capt. Jack Kennedy, the incident happened on The Strip – a popular road near the school that’s lined by bars and restaurants — at around 1:45 a.m.

Reportedly, Harris and her boyfriend were visiting her cousin — who is a student at the University of Alabama — and were getting something to eat before the incident occurred. However, a fun night out turned tragic when Jamea Harris was shot and killed in a vehicle.

Darius Miles and Michael Davis have since been charged with capital murder for the shooting.
