Alabama basketball player Darius Miles has been charged with capital murder.
The junior Alabama basketball player was one of two men charged in fatal shooting that took place in Tuscaloosa, Ala., early Sunday morning. The victim, a 23-year-old female, passed away, according to Captain Jack Kennedy.
A video has since been obtained showing him crying while being placed in the back of cop car.
The 21-year-old appeared to be crying during a perp walk and said, “I love you,’’ and “I love you more than you imagine,’’ several times to someone standing outside the Tuscaloosa County Jail.
Miles had not seen the court since the Jackson State game on December 20th. Miles was on the bench during the Crimson Tide’s 106-66 win over LSU on Saturday.

We were made aware of the recent charge against student-athlete Darius Miles; he has been removed from campus and is no longer a member of the Alabama men’s basketball team.”
