Jamea Harris, who was shot and killed near the University of Alabama campus in January, has had her family file a federal wrongful death lawsuit against three individuals. Former Alabama star Brandon Miller, who was the second overall draft pick in June, is one of the defendants in the case. Darius Miles and Michael Davis, both former Alabama players, are also named in the lawsuit. DeCarla Heard, Harris' mother, is being represented by the Birmingham law firm Farris, Riley & Pitt. The lawsuit alleges that all three defendants should have known that bringing a dangerous weapon to a dispute and discharging it would likely result in harm.Harris was visiting a family member with her boyfriend when she was fatally shot in Tuscaloosa in mid-January. Miller is set to begin his rookie season with the Charlotte Hornets later this month. During a hearing, a police investigator testified that Miller had been at the scene of the shooting and that the gun used was found in his vehicle. Miller's attorney claims that he had no knowledge of any intent to use the weapon. In a statement, Miller expressed his condolences for Harris' family and stated that the situation is heartbreaking.
