Wrongful Death Lawsuit Issued Against No. 2 Pick

Wrongful Death Lawsuit Shakes Alabama Sports World

In a shocking twist, a wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against former Alabama basketball sensation, Brandon Miller. The lawsuit arises from a tragic event that unfolded on the bustling Tuscaloosa strip, adjacent to the University of Alabama campus.


Legal Battle Unveiled in Tragic Shooting


The lawsuit, officially lodged in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama Western Division, seeks justice for the untimely demise of Jamea Jonae Harris. She was a 23-year-old woman whose life was abruptly cut short in a shooting incident on the morning of January 15. The legal action has been initiated by Decarla Raietta Heard, the mother of Harris and the official representative of her estate.

A Night Gone Wrong

On that ill-fated day, Harris and her boyfriend were in Tuscaloosa, visiting her cousin when tragedy struck in the early hours.


Accusations Against Multiple Parties

The lawsuit doesn't single out Brandon Miller alone. It also names two other individuals: former Alabama player Darius Miles and Michael Davis. These two men are currently facing capital murder charges related to the shooting death of Jamea Jonae Harris. Notably, Brandon Miller, who was recently chosen as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft, has not been charged with any crime.


A Demand for Justice

The lawsuit serves as a demand for a jury trial, with the objective of securing damages for the affected parties. This legal development could have substantial ramifications, both within the legal sphere and in the world of sports.
