Alabama basketball star Brandon Miller is back in his home state of Tennessee this week for the SEC tournament. Read what folks from his high school, Cane Ridge, had to say:
, Tuscaloosa police said Miller was picking up former teammate Darius Miles when Miles requested his gun, which was in Miller’s car. The weapon was eventually used by a third person to fatally shoot Jamea Harris, a 23-year-old mother, outside the strip of bars off UA’s campus on Jan. 15. Miles and the gunman were arrested on capital murder charges, while Miller and freshman Jaden Bradley were cleared of any wrongdoing by police and the university.
One administrator audibly gasped after learning Miller’s involvement but went on to say Miller came from a great family. Another defended Miller’s “heart of gold.” Mose Phillips Jr., a teacher and football coach at Cane Ridge and Miller’s godfather, told AL.com he’s frustrated no one is talking about how Miller’s life was at risk also, with two bullet holes hitting Miller’s windshield in the exchange.
Just southeast of Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Miller’s parents Darrell and Yolanda, enrolled Miller in Cane Ridge by design. Per U.S. Census data, Davidson County residents have a median income of $66,047 with 15% of the 700,000-plus residents living in poverty. The family fielded calls from powerhouse high school teams across the country with transfer offers, but Darrell and Yolanda thought Miller had a better chance of being “just Brandon” with the Ravens.
