Former Alabama basketball player Darius Miles will go to trial for capital murder the week of December 1, a Tuscaloosa judge confirmed this week. The decision arrives nearly two years after the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Jamea Harris, a case that rocked the college basketball world and the University of Alabama community.
Miles has been held without bail in the Tuscaloosa County Jail since January 2023, when police arrested him in connection to the late-night shooting near The Strip, a popular nightlife spot close to campus. His removal from Alabama’s basketball roster came within days.
According to investigators, Miles allegedly handed a gun to friend Michael Davis shortly before Davis fired into a Jeep during a confrontation with Cedric Johnson, Harris’ boyfriend. Harris, sitting in the front passenger seat, was struck and killed.
The spotlight now turns fully to Miles, after co-defendant Michael Davis was convicted
Back in May, a jury found Davis guilty of capital murder. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Prosecutors have confirmed that they will not pursue the death penalty for Miles, but if convicted, he too would face life behind bars with no chance of release.
Tuscaloosa District Attorney Paula Whitley told AL.com that a plea deal was offered to Miles, though she didn’t share specifics. Whether that deal is still on the table-or will be accepted-remains unclear.
Court documents presented during Davis’ trial included surveillance video and phone records that prosecutors say tie Miles to the weapon. His legal team is expected to challenge that connection when the trial begins.
Miles played in 53 games for Alabama over two seasons and had two career starts. His role with the Crimson Tide was limited, but his name has since become tied to one of the most tragic stories in recent college sports memory.
Jury selection is expected to begin in late November, with the trial likely stretching into mid-December.

Shane van Gisbergen Dominates Again, Wins at Sonoma to Extend Streak
Shane van Gisbergen extended his winning streak to two straight and three victories in the last five weeks with yet another dominating run on a road course.The New Zealander once again showed he's in a completely different class on road and street courses than his rivals as he led 97 of 110 laps on Sunday to win from pole at Sonoma Raceway. All three of his wins this year have been from pole — which tied him with Jeff Gordon for a NASCAR record of three consecutive road course victories from the top starting spot. Gordon did it between the 1998 and 1999 seasons.Victory number four for van Gisbergen — who stunned NASCAR in 2023 when he popped into the debut Chicago street course race from Australian V8 Supercars and won — seemed a given before teams even arrived at […]
