The attorney for former Alabama men's basketball player Darius Miles has released a statement following his client's arrest on Sunday.
Miles has been charged with capital murder and was arrested on Sunday.
William White, who is Miles' attorney, said in the statement that his client is innocent.
"Darius Miles and his family are heartbroken tonight over the death of Jamea Jonae Harris. While Darius has been accused of being involved with this tragedy, he maintains his innocence and looks forward to his day in court. Our firm’s own investigation is ongoing, and no further statement will be made at this time," the statement read.
The charges for Miles step from what happened on Sunday morning at The Strip. According to multiple reports, Jamea Harris, who was 23 years old, was shot to death while driving on The Strip.
Miles played in six games for the Crimson Tide this season before he got hurt. He's also a former three-star recruit out of Washington D.C.
Stay tuned for more details on this situation.
