ex-Alabama basketball Player Darius Miles, who faces a capital murder charge in the January shooting death of 23-year-old Jamea Harris, was denied bail Wednesday for the second time.
Tuscaloosa County Circuit Judge Daniel Pruet followed a similar decision made during a preliminary hearing in February that kept the 21-year-old college basketball player behind bars since Jan. 15, according to The Tuscaloosa News.

According to court documents, investigators said Harris was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when she was struck by a bullet, which Davis is accused of firing. Investigators also stated that Miles admitted to providing the weapon immediately before the shooting.

Defense attorneys suggested at an earlier court hearing that the two were reacting defensively after an altercation with a youth from Harris’ group.
According to WBRC, Davis is also being held without bail.
