Alabama fans spotted in ‘Killin’ our way through the SEC’ t-shirts after Darius Miles’ arrest

Two unidentified Alabama fans were seen wearing t-shirts reading ‘Killin’ our way through the SEC in ’23’ at the Southeastern Conference tournament on Saturday – two months after a Crimson Tide player was arrested for murder.

Jamea Harris, a 23-year-old mother, was shot to death near the University of Alabama campus in the early hours of January 15. Crimson Tide forward Darius Miles and another man, Michael Lynn Davis, have been arrested and indicted on capital murder charges in her death. Miles has since been kicked off the team.

Another Alabama forward, SEC Player of the Year Brandon Miller, brought a gun to Miles that night that was later used by Davis in the fatal shooting, according to police testimony. Miller has not been charged with any crime and has continued playing for the Crimson Tide, scoring 23 points in Alabama’s 82-63 win over Texas A&M in Sunday’s SEC title game.

The ‘Killin’ t-shirts are the latest in a series of flippant reactions to the shooting. Miller was previously frisked by a teammate during pre-game introductions in an apparent reference to his reported link to the shooting.

Alabama is now a No. 1 seed heading into their round-of-64 game against the winner of this week’s Texas A&M Corpus Christi-Southeastern Missouri State ‘First Four’ matchup.

In February, detective Branden Culpepper testified that Miles texted Miller on January 15, asking his then-teammate to bring his gun to an off-campus area, where 23-year-old Jamea Jonae Harris was later shot and killed. Miller allegedly complied, driving the gun to Miles and another man, Michael Lynn Davis, who are both facing capital murder charges for Harris’ death. 

While Miles has been dismissed from the Crimson Tide basketball team ahead of his murder trial, Miller has not been charged by authorities. 

Tuscaloosa chief deputy D.A. Paula Whitley declined to tell AL.com why Miller wasn’t charged, saying: ‘That’s not a question I can answer. There’s nothing we could charge him with.’
