The South Carolina crowd hit the forward with chants of «Lock him up.»
The police have said that «there is nothing we can collect [Miller] with», although Darius Miles has been charged with capital murder.
Miles was fired from the team after it was revealed that he was allegedly involved in the shooting.
Miller gave the gun to Miles, who admitted to giving the gun to Michael «Buzz» Davis.
Det. Branden Culpepper said Miller arrived on the scene and Miles told Davis, «The heat is in the hat,» referencing the gun, according to AL.com. He also said, «There’s one in the head,» which means there was a bullet in the chamber.
