Alabama Manager Says He, Not Freshman Player, Was in Car at Deadly Shooting

Cooper Lee, an Alabama basketball team manager, told The New York Times that he, not freshman player Kai Spears, was in Brandon Miller’s car at the time of the January 15th deadly shooting.

“I can confirm that I was the passenger in Brandon Miller’s car at the time of the shooting,” Lee told The Times.

In its initial reporting of the shooting, The New York Times said that Spears was in Miller’s car along with Jaden Bradley and Darius Miles that night. Miles and his friend, Michael Lynn Davis, were arrested and indicted on capital murder charges by an Alabama grand jury for the death of Jamea Jonae Harris.
