Brandon Miller may be very good at playing basketball, but there are some people who do not like that he is allowed to continue his college career after his name came up during a murder investigation where he allegedly supplied a gun in the incident.
Alabama freshman Brandon Miller walked to practice on Wednesday next to armed security, two months after his link in a deadly shooting.
Miller was a witness to the murder of a 23-year-old woman near the Alabama campus after he transported the weapon used.
“If you guys saw some of what I’ve seen sent his way, I think you would understand why that’s the case,” Alabama coach Nate Oats explained. “I don’t want to get into all that. The entire situation, as you know, is just a heartbreaking situation on all accounts.”
Oats added: “Some of the messages from people that can sit behind fake email addresses, but who knows whether they’re real or not. But if you’d seen what I’ve seen, you would understand what’s going on right now.”
Miller didn’t go into specifics about the guard.

“I always travel with security to all the games,” he said. “That’s all I’m gonna say on that.”
Former Bama basketball player Darius Miles legally owned the gun he used, but had left it in Miller’s car. Miller drove it to Miles who then allegedly gave it to Michael Davis who is accused of firing the fatal shot.
Miller’s link to the shooting was not revealed for over a month but police have said there is nothing they can charge him with. Both Miles and Davis have been charged with capital murder.
Miller has not missed any time on the court.
