The parents of Jamea Harris, who was killed near the University of Alabama’s campus, blasted the school and head basketball coach Nate Oats for allowing star Brandon Miller to continue to play.
Former Alabama basketball player Darius Miles and Michael Lynn Davis were charged with capital murder after they allegedly shot at a car that Harris was in near campus — killing her.
On Tuesday, police told an Alabama grand jury that Miller supplied the gun for the deadly shooting after being summoned to the eventual crime scene by Miles — who asked him to bring the weapon.
At a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Oates gave a remarkably tone-deaf reason as to why Miller was still with the team.
“We knew about that,” Oats said. “Can’t control everything everybody does outside of practice. Nobody knew that was going to happen. College kids are out; Brandon hasn’t been in any type of trouble, nor is he in any type of trouble in this case. Wrong spot at the wrong time.”
