Darius Miles Set for Trial Dec. 1 in Tuscaloosa Shooting
TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, ALABAMA, DEC 1 – Darius Miles is charged with aiding a fatal shooting after allegedly providing the gun to Michael Davis, who received life without parole, prosecutors said.
- Darius Miles, who formerly played basketball for Alabama, is set to face a capital murder trial during the week of December 1, 2025, in Tuscaloosa, in connection with the death of 23-year-old Jamea Harris.
- The trial follows the January 15, 2023, shooting near The Strip entertainment district, where Michael Davis fired into a Jeep killing Harris, and Miles allegedly handed Davis the gun shortly before the shooting.
- Since his arrest on the day of the shooting, Miles has remained in custody without the option for bail and faces a life sentence without parole if convicted, as prosecutors have withdrawn the death penalty charges against both him and Davis.
- During the proceedings against Davis, prosecutors introduced court documents containing surveillance footage and phone data linking Miles to the firearm; meanwhile, Miles' defense attorneys contend he acted in self-defense and seek protection under Alabama's immunity provisions.
- The conviction of Davis and the upcoming trial of Miles remain focal points in the Alabama community, with prosecutors and Jamea Harris' family committed to seeking accountability. District Attorney Paula Whitley expressed that the verdict represents a step toward justice for Jamea.
