A now-former University of Alabama men's basketball player has been charged with capital murder.
Darius Miles, a junior forward at Alabama, has been charged with murder, following the death of a 23-year-old woman in Tuscaloosa on Sunday morning.
The Alabama student-athlete has been taken into police custody. Alabama released a statement on Sunday evening.
The University of Alabama says that Miles is no longer a student-athlete and he's been removed from campus.
Miles had previously been ruled out for the season with an ankle injury. He had played in six games this year.
The former three-star recruit in the 2020 class is a Washington, D.C. native.
